2013 Out of the Darkness Walk to Prevent Suicide - WESTPORT

A person dies by suicide every 13.7 minutes, claiming more than 38,000 lives each year. It is the 4th leading cause of death in the US among adults 18-65 and the second leading cause of death among teens and young adults.  Every fall, family members, friends and colleagues walk 3-5 miles together to prevent suicide, raise awareness and end the stigma that surrounds depression and other mental disorders. With each stride, our walkers save lives, honor loved ones lost to suicide and raise funds to support AFSP's vital mission.

Walk to save lives this October 12th in Westport.  Register today at: http://afsp.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.event&eventID=2388
