Shine A Light: Out Of The Darkness Suicide Prevention Walk

Dear Friends, Family, and Compassionate Supporters., 

I’m doing something incredible. I am participating in the Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk - an extraordinary event where participants from all over the country join together to walk 16+ miles over the course of one night.

I’m reaching out with deep purpose and urgency. I’m raising $1,000 to fund my travel to New York City to participate in the Overnight Walk for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) — a powerful, moving event that brings hope, healing, and connection to thousands affected by suicide. This cause is incredibly close to my heart. I’ve walked before, and it changed me. The experience of walking through the night — shoulder to shoulder with survivors, supporters, and those honoring loved ones — was both humbling and life-affirming. I promised myself I would do this every year, as long as I’m able. But I can’t do it alone. The cost of flights, accommodations, and event-related travel adds up, and I need your help to get there. With your support, I’ll stand (and walk!) in solidarity with families and individuals who have suffered unimaginable loss, and with those still fighting to stay here with us. Every step I take will be for someone who can’t. I’m asking you to help me reach $1,000 in the next 24 hours. Any amount — $5, $25, $100 — brings me closer to the goal. And every donation is a declaration that mental health matters, that hope matters, and that no one walks alone. This isn’t just a walk. It’s a movement. It’s a message. And with your help, I’ll be able to carry it forward once again this year — and for many more to come. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting. Together, we can make a difference. With hope and gratitude,
