In the United States, a person dies by suicide every 14.2 minutes, claiming more than 36,000 lives each year. It is estimated that an attempt is made every minute, with close to one million people attempting suicide annually.

The Out of the Darkness Community Walk funds research aimed at improving our understanding of suicide and ways to prevent it as well as educational programs to increase awareness about prevention, warning signs and the psychiatric illnesses that can lead to suicide.
There is no registration fee or minimum fundraising requirement, however, individuals wishing to support the cause and receive a 2012 Walk T-shirt are asked to raise $150.
