The day started with registration at 11:30 am, followed by a one-mile walk around the park at 12:30 pm. The event was inclusive, welcoming families, friends, and leashed dogs. Registrants received a free NCJAR baseball cap and t-shirt, courtesy of Jerry Tuscano's dedication to this important cause.
Suicide is a global concern, and this walk was a powerful step in raising awareness and support for prevention. Even if you couldn't attend, remember that help is just a call or text away: dial 988 or text 741-741 in times of crisis.
In summary, the Out of the Darkness Walk was a meaningful and emotional event that brought the community together to prevent suicide and offer hope to those affected by it. Your support can make a significant difference, so let's continue the fight against this critical issue.
