AFSP: Overnight Home

AFSP: Overnight Home

About the Walk:

The Out of the Darkness Overnight is a walk like no other. It's an 18-mile journey through the night, from dusk until dawn where a courageous community of men and women like you will break the silence and bring the issues of depression and suicide into the light. We will walk together to turn heartbreak into hope for tomorrow. Walk with us >>

Why We Walk:

A suicide attempt happens every minute of every day. Every 16 minutes, someone in the U.S. dies by suicide. These statistics are staggering and yet remain hidden and not discussed. We walk to bring the issues of suicide, depression, and mood disorders into the light and to continue the work of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention - work that will truly save lives.
