A life is lost to suicide every 12.8 minutes in the United States. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among fifteen to twenty-four-year-olds and the second leading cause of death among college students. However, most Americans remain unaware that suicide is a national health problem. The impact that suicide has on the lives of family members, friends, co-workers, and the community is devastating. The loss of human potential is enormous. On 11/15/2025 , the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) will host the Lakeland Out of the Darkness Community Walk. We hope you will consider walking with us as we travel the beautiful paths at First Presbyterian Church of Lakeland, Lakeland, FL to raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention. A major goal of this event is to show support for the families and friends of the more than 41,000 Americans who die by suicide, and the 20 million people who suffer from depression, each year. Support of the community walks also helps to raise funds for suicide prevention research and educational programs, erase the stigma surrounding suicide and its causes, and encourage those who are suffering from mental illness to seek treatment. Please help me reach my goal by clicking the "Donate" button on this page. All donations are 100% tax-deductible and benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), funding research, education, advocacy, and support for those affected by suicide. Thank you for your generous support!https://afspwalks.donordrive.com/participant/3288059
