Description

"Suicide affects 1 in 5 American families,” said Sharon Sturiano-Rocco, Long Island Board Chair American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. “I am walking to bring awareness to this leading cause of death and let people know that they are not alone. Help is out there for those who live with a mental health condition and to support for those who have lost a loved one to suicide.”

More than 5,000 people are expected to participate in the Long Island Out of the Darkness Community Walk to raise $460,000 to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s local and national programs and its bold goal to reduce the annual rate of suicide 20% by 2025.
