Come take a walk and help prevent suicide.

On September 13th, Suicide Prevention Services of America (SPS) will be hosting it’s annual HERE FOR LIFE! Walk.
This will be the seventh year I have walked.

We walk 3.2. Beginning at the large Pavillion in Potawatomie Park at 8 North Ave. in St. Charles and will be walking along the river.

The walk begins with a balloon launch/ Then we walk.

Here is a video about the walk: http://youtu.be/BAmPZpYixW4

The sidewalks have words of encouragement: Keep going. You can do it. HERE FOR LIFE. Each mile is marked with a Mile Marker. Mile Markers often have pictures of loved ones.

The walk ends with breakfast. We celebrate life.

All donations go to SPS, a non-profit organization. Donations are tax-deductible.

It’s our largest yearly SPS event. We count on the fundraising and donations from this event to keep SPS alive and offering services.

SPS is one of seven agencies in the nation that offer all of the services that it does: training, counseling, a telephone hotline, depression screening, support groups for both attempters and for survivors (people who have lost someone they loved to suicide) and more.

Monthly support groups available to anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide. The group meets in both Aurora and Sandwich, once a month. For more information: www.spsamerica.org
