Another Successful Overnight Walk Brings Us Closer to A World Without Suicide
The streets of San Francisco came alive on the night of June 9th into the early morning hours of the 10th as the Survivor community banded together once more to share stories, hope, and an experience for the annual Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk.
More than 2,000 Walkers came
together at Fort Mason to support of the Overnight Walk and to stand up
together to help put an end to suicide and to remember their loved ones, and
nearly $2.4 million has been raised to date in support of this monumental
effort.
One Unforgettable Night
The amazing Survivor
Community that supported the Overnight Walk this year is the main reason for
the success of the event and the passion and inspiration that the Walkers give
to one another created an atmosphere like no other as they encouraged one
another throughout the night.
Throughout the 2012
Overnight stories were shared, hugs given, and hope imparted from the group as
a whole and we were all left with a profound sense of accomplishment not only
for the physical feats accomplished by so many, but by the dedication and
resolve of a community from across the country.
We hope that all who attended
this special San Francisco Overnight event had an incredible experience and
were able to connect and share with others and form new relationships that will
help heal and give comfort.
