WALK TO HONOR LOVED ONES
(Information Provided By Tracey Wilson)
In the United States, a person dies by suicide every 13.7 minutes, claiming more than 38,000 lives each year. It is estimated that an attempt is made every minute, with close to one million people attempting suicide annually. Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. among adults 18-65, the second leading cause of death among teens and young adults, and individuals ages 65 and older account for 16 percent of all suicide deaths. This is a public health issue that does not discriminate by age, gender, ethnicity, or socio-economic status. Let's Walk to save lives, Walk to raise awareness, Walk to raise funds, Let's Walk Out Of The Darkness and Into a Solution...
Join Chicktime Delaware as we will be joining with thousands of people nationwide to walk in the Dover Out of the Darkness Walk, benefiting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), and we would appreciate any support that you give for this worthwhile cause.
