Will you help save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide? The Out of the Darkness Chicagoland Walk is a special event that provides community, connection, healing, and hope for survivors of suicide loss and those with lived experience. By registering for the walk on 09/17/2022, you are joining a strong community united in an effort to fight suicide while showing up for yourself, recognizing and honoring those you love, raising awareness, educating communities, supporting one another, and sharing hope. Every dollar you raise through the Chicagoland Walk allows AFSP to invest in life-saving research, education, advocacy, and support for those impacted by suicide. In addition to the in-person walk, we will have a virtual option. The health and safety of our participants, staff, and volunteers will be our top priorities as we work with local authorities to make decisions about event details. |
