Tonight is the night.
Tonight I walk 16-18 miles.
Tonight I remember the life of my mom.
Tonight I bring suicide awareness out of the dark.
Tonight I walk for others who have not found their voice.
Tonight I meet others on a similar journey.
Tonight I walk to #stopsuicide.
Tonight I stand as an example of someone who learned to live life after loosing a parent to suicude.
Tonight I say I will not be ashamed.
Tonight I walk to bring suicide out of the dark so others will not suffer.
Tonight I am thankful for family and friends who have shown me more love than I can express.
Tonight I walk because I can.
Tonight I refuse to remain silent.
Tonight I walk because I am tired of the shame, stigma, and bias against mental health.
Tonight I love louder so others know this world might be cruel at times, but love does win.
Tonight I walk because our world needs more walking hand in hand, and less fighting, insulting, and hate.
Tonight I walk to let others know they are not alone.
Tonight I walk because my mom can’t.
Tonight is the night I walk the AFSP Overnight Walk in NYC! http://theovernight.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.teamParticipants&teamID=8383
