On the night of June 4-5, 2011, Cam Nelson, Jamie Nelson, and Jenny Chaney will join thousands of other people on a 18-mile walk as part of the Out of the Darkness Overnight, an event that raises money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. We will be walking in honor of Corey Nelson, who was Cam’s brother, Jamie’s husband, and a Phoenix Firefighter. We are also walking on behalf of all Firefighter’s who have taken their lives. The goal of this journey, which will begin at dusk and finish at dawn, is to raise funds for suicide prevention, erase the stigma surrounding suicide and its causes, to encourage those suffering from mental illness to seek treatment, and to show support for the families and friends of the 30,000 Americans who die by suicide and the 20 million people that suffer from depression each year. We need to raise $1000 each for this cause. I hope you will consider supporting our participation in this event. Any contribution will help the work of AFSP. Checks should be made payable to AFSP and are 100% tax-deductible. Cash donations are also appreciated. Donations can also be made online at www.TheOvernight.org (select "Donate Now" and search for Team Baby Bull & Fallen Firefighters or our individual names or click the link below.) Thank you for supporting us on our journey!
