Walking to save lives to prevent suicide

103.3 KFR wants you to know in the United States, a person dies by suicide every 16 minutes, claiming more than 33,000 lives each year. It is estimated that an attempt is made every minute; with close to one million people attempting suicide annually. With your participation, you will not just be walking, and your donors will not just be writing a check - you will be helping to save lives. By walking in the Out of the Darkness Community Walks to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), you will be walking with thousands of people nationwide to raise money for AFSP's vital research and education programs to prevent suicide and save lives, increase national awareness about depression and suicide, advocate for mental health issues, and assist survivors of suicide loss. The Out of the Darkness Walk in Kalamazoo is Sat. Sept. 18th at Noon at Bronson Park. Sign up by clicking here.

To a child with a life-threatening medical condition, a wish is more than just a vacation, a coveted gift or a day of fun. A wish is something magical for a child to look forward to – something besides doctor visits and hospital stays. A wish is the joy that wish parents experience when they see their children smile, laugh and play carefree – perhaps for the first time in a long time. A wish is the strength that medical professionals witness when they treat wish kids who are anticipating their wishes or sharing photos and stories after their wish adventures. A wish is hope that volunteers, donors, sponsors and community members feel in knowing they helped make a courageous child’s dreams come true. A wish is a treasured memory that lasts a lifetime … and leaves a legacy. If you'd like to help, contact Make-A-Wish's West Michigan office and Cara Ontiveros @ 877.631.9474 x 24
