Mission Statement
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is the leading national not-for-profit organization exclusively dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide through research, education and advocacy, and to reaching out to people with mental disorders and those impacted by suicide.
Description
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) Greater Boston Chapter is hosting our 8 Th Annual Out of the Darkness Community Walk in Brighton, MA on Saturday, October 15, 2011. We were hoping that you would be able to post our information on your website and encourage members to volunteer or to join us at the Boston Walk.
The 2.5 mile Walk route along the Charles River brings together survivors of suicide, their friends and supporters from towns all over Eastern Massachusetts including the Cape, Central Massachusetts, North Shore, South Shore and Merrimack Valley to raise much needed funds for prevention, education and advocacy.
