We had a beautiful day for this year’s Out of the Darkness walk, which took place in Elgin, IL. The park was gorgeous, the weather was perfect and we raised awareness and funds for a worthy cause. About 375 suicide survivors walked and raised approximately $47,000. Thank you to all who donated and supported us!
Between shooting I walked with my wife Monica, our son, Monica’s mother, sister and our nephew. We walked in remembrance of Monica’s little brother who we lost to suicide last spring. Participating in these walks is important to our family because it reminds us that there are others who still have questions, other who are still hurting, and that we’re not alone.
Here are a few photos from the walk. More will be posted at the AFSP website soon.
Ryan… we thank you for the pictures that bring reality home. So sorry we neglected to donate to this worthy cause this year, so would you please e-mail us an address so that we can so?
Again, thanks for the pictures. They always have a way of making something such as this much more personal.
