The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s flagship fundraising event, the Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk, will return in person this year to the streets of New York City on Saturday, June 4!

Join thousands in walking 16+ miles from dusk to dawn in honor of loved ones we’ve lost, those with lived experience and anyone affected by this leading cause of death. The Overnight is an annual opportunity to raise funds and awareness, making a difference while forging connections with a community that understands the impact of suicide.

In a recent article in AFSP’s Real Stories blog, Overnight Walker Corinne McDonnell shared her many reasons for walking with us:

“I walk because I have experienced the full circle of emotions and events that come with both wanting to take your life and fighting to live a better life, one that you can enjoy daily. I also walk because I have lost someone to suicide, and I wish she had a chance to be with us today so she could see that life can get better. I walk because my passion in life is to share my experiences in hopes that they can help someone else. I walk because life does get better, and pain is temporary. I walk because I know that my life is worth living, and so is yours.”

Join us for this year’s Overnight, be welcomed into our community, and help spread the message that suicide is preventable and that no one is alone.
