I’m doing something incredible. I am participating in the Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk - an extraordinary event where participants from all over the country join together to walk 16-18 miles over the course of one night - to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. 

Please consider donating - every little bit helps!

If you've made it this far, i'll add to the above. This year is different. since last october, i have felt so disgusted with the world, so jaded with people as a whole, that i was pretty certain i would not be participating - as i had begun to truly stop caring. 

a few years back, i was the 'poster boy' for this event - and that is not figurative, i was literally on the poster for the charity - but it is hard to find the motivation to spend so much energy helping, when all you see is darkness, and anger, and violence. 

but after reflecting some more, i remembered that the evil people in this world are often the loudest, they are the ones who tear down posters of hostages, and openly promote genocide. most people, i truly want to still believe, are generally good, and kind, and caring, and worth caring about. that, is why, i walk, and try to raise money... for those that are good people, that are suffering in silence.... the parent who lost their child, the sister who lost her brother, the human who almost lost themselves.... suicide will never be eradicated, just as anti-semites, anti-lgbtq, anti - whatevers will always be around. but this walk lets the quiet ones, the ones who generally dont speak up, who are inherently by their very nature silent and in the dark, turn on their light, and raise their voice at least for 1 night, and try to at least reduce this treatable tragedy. 

if you have it in you to give a few bucks towards the cause, please click the donation link. but i know there are a lot of worthy causes for your donations - so if you prefer to give somewhere else, then i am proud of you for that. as long as there are a lot more good people then bad, i think we'll all be ok.
