â˜…Walking for Suicide Preventionâ˜…

About Me

" Life is full of ups and downs. A time will come when you will feel that everyone has deserted you, even those you least expected - your parent, best friend etc. But never lose hope; bear in mind that it is part of life and such things happen to make us strong. It helps us to be independent and believe in our own selves." Written by Akosua, Age 16 --- United Kingdom
Here are some links to the donation pages of people walking in Out of the Darkness walks. The money you donate will go to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (the U.S.'s leading not for profit agency for suicide prevention). They use the money to fund research for suicide prevention, survivor support groups, and much much more. Your donation (big or small) can make a big difference and save lives. Just click on a link below to get started...it only takes a couple minutes.
