While on a business trip to the San Francisco Bay Area, I heard a radio commercial for the "AFSP Out of the DARKNESS Overnight" walk. After losing my mother to suicide in 2000, I had always wanted to find a way to help those that suffer from depression or other-related illnesses.
Well, I registered for the Overnight walk and thought I would never be able to raise the minimum $1000 required to participate in the walk that will be used to help fund suicide prevention research. I created a personal fundraising page and send an email via the website to several of my co-workers, family, and friends. In one day, several of these generous souls had already donated $570 to this cause in my name. Their support is greatly appreciated!
