Dear Friends,

I am asking for your prayers and support.  This summer, I am undertaking a very personal, spiritual journey.  I am going to walk 490 miles on the Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James) from France and across northern Spain.  I truly feel that God has called me to undertake this journey to bring attention to a cause that is very important to me: raising money for suicide prevention.  Death by suicide has deeply impacted my family.  I make this journey in memory of my beloved nephew, Buck Paul.  I am committed to raising money in honor of his life and of his goodness.  I hope that you, too, will join me by making a donation and by sharing this page with as many people as you can.  We are not alone in our grief.  So many families have suffered their own losses.  Together, we can save others from being in pain or from losing someone you love.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is at the forefront of research, advocacy, education and prevention initiatives designed to reduce loss of life from suicide. With more than 36,000 lives lost each year in the U.S. and over one million worldwide, the importance of AFSP's mission has never been greater, nor our work more urgent.

I hope you will consider supporting my participation in this event. Any contribution will help the work of AFSP, and all donations are 100% tax deductible.

Donating online is safe and easy! To make an online donation click the "Support Me" link in this email and then click the "Support Me" button on my fundraising page. If you would rather donate by check please make the check payable to AFSP and mail it in with the offline donation form.

Thank you for considering this request for your support. If you have any questions about AFSP do not hesitate to contact me or visit www.afsp.org

Sincerely,
Anne
