Out Of The Darkness

Hi there, some of you know me, others may not. For those of you who do, you may already know what I am going to say...for the others, well...you probably don't know, since you don't know me...heh.

Last year, on Oct 30th, my dad completed suicide. Since then, I have been trying to find ways to bring more awareness to the subject, help people understand ways to prevent it, all that good stuff. I joined a wonderful online support group called, Survivors Of Loved Ones to Suicide, or SOLOS. And through them, I have found awesome ways to give back. One of them being the Out Of The Darkness walk.

These walks take place across the US in different cities. There is one coming up on November 1st in Little Rock, and I will be walking. The AFSP sponsers this event, and all proceeds go to help raising awareness and helping with prevention.

With this in mind, I know you may not know me personally, but many of you know someone who has contemplated suicide, or has completed suicide. I would love to ask if any of you would be able to help me raise my goal amount for this walk. If you donate, and you would like, I will be carrying a poster with the names of those lost to suicide. You just need to send me a message with a name. Honestly, if you aren't able to donate, but you would still like me to honor your loved one, SEND ME THE NAME. My team will also have a poster board with messages to our lost loved ones. If you have a message you want to send them, let me know.

If you ARE able to donate, please go to http://afsp.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=876517

I greatly appreciate it. Many hugs to all of you!


Michelle
