The Overnight Out of the Darkness Walk in Washington DC



The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's Out of the Darkness Overnight is a walk like no other. It's a 16-18 mile journey through the night, from dusk until dawn where a courageous community of men and women like you will break the silence and bring the issues of depression and suicide into the light.

 On Saturday, June 4, 2011-Sunday June, 5, 2011, Nicole Luthman, Professor Giammarie Pieri and her husband, and students Pollyana Chadee and Edwin Gomez walked 18 miles from sunset to sunrise in the AFSP Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk in Brooklyn and Manhattan. The team raised over $3,600 for suicide prevention. 


We walk for you!
