My family lost my cousin, Matt, to suicide 5 years ago. Matt was a wonderful person. Just weeks away from graduating from Rutgers and had lined up an internship with a major labor union. He was also a musician and had a wicked sense of humor. He left behind many devastated friends and family who loved him dearly and were shocked at his death. He had a bright future and was taken far too early.
I'm asking for your help to prevent other families from suffering this kind of loss.
I will be joining with thousands of people nationwide this fall to walk in AFSP's Ann Arbor Walk 2009 Out of the Darkness Community Walk to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I would appreciate any support that you give me for this worthwhile cause.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is at the forefront of research, education and prevention initiatives designed to reduce loss of life from suicide. With more than 33,000 lives lost each year in the U.S. and over one million worldwide, the importance of AFSP's mission has never been greater, nor our work more urgent.
I hope you will consider supporting my participation in this event. Any contribution will help the work of AFSP, and all donations are 100% tax deductible.
Donating online is safe and easy! Just visit my fundraising page and click the "Support This Participant" button on this page.
Thank you!
