Join Me in Supporting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

Hello! Welcome to my fundraising page for the 2024 Out of the Darkness walk sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

As many of my friends, family, and fans who will be directed to this page over the coming months are aware, I am a writer. As such, I should not be struggling as I am right now, trying to come up with the perfect words to sway you into participating with my cause. This year, I am thinking only of last year.

I have been doing this walk for over a decade, but last year we walked as a team in honor of my mother, a mental health and addiction nurse who passed away on Christmas, 2022. I walked with my family and immense pride, as we reached our goal and remembered a woman who saved so many lives, mine included.

This year, I will walk again with her spirit, and I will do it as I have for so many years. I will be restarting our team if you would like to join me, Team Sunflower, and I hope you will consider joining us for the walk or making a donation to help save lives.

I know that in this trying time on our planet there are many ways people feel they want to help, and I urge you to choose this option if you are so able. I do not believe there will ever be a world without suicide, but I do strongly believe in a world with less suicide, with less death by depression and mental illness. That is a battle I can fight, that is something I can do to improve the world in which I live, and I invite you to join me.

Thank you as always for your contributions, and your love and support. Details are below for donations, and please feel free to reach out to me if you would like to join Team Sunflower

Much love,
Brigid
