Philadelphia Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (2600 Benjamin Franklin Parkway) Walker Check-in: 4pm – 7:15pm.
Every year thousands join together to show the world that there is hope for those affected by suicide. Walk with others who understand the impact suicide can have and be part of a welcoming community that knows your experience. Register today! The Overnight is an experience like no other. Every year suicide claims more lives than war, murder, and natural disasters combined, and yet suicide prevention doesn’t get anywhere near the funding given to other leading causes of death. It’s up to Walkers like us to make a difference. Together we can change the conversation about mental health and put a stop to this tragic loss of life. Info at: TheOvernight.org
