"Challenges serve a purpose in your life. They make you strong so you can accomplish your goal or they redirect you to something even greater in your life - to something that you didn't even have planned for yourself. So remember to never lose hope."
~ Tara Szczepanski
Walk to save lives... Walk to honor a loved one... Walk to raise awareness...
By walking in the Out of the Darkness Community Walks to
benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), you will
be walking with thousands of people nationwide to raise money for AFSP's
vital research and education programs to prevent suicide and save
lives, increase national awareness about depression and suicide,
advocate for mental health issues, and assist survivors of suicide loss.
THE PLEDGE: Everyone deserves to be
respected for who they are. I pledge to spread this message to my
friends, family and neighbors. I'll speak up against hate and
intolerance whenever I see it, at school and at work. I'll provide hope
for lesbian, gay, bi, trans and other bullied teens by letting them know
that "It Gets Better."
