2020 Touched by Suicide Virtual Memorial Walk

We are doing something a little differently this year due to COVID-19, but we feel it will be just as memorable and are offing an interactive virtual recognition to remember our loved ones during a Facebook Live event on November 7th at 10am including the reading of names and a very special and touching individualized sugar paper ceremony (your loved one's name will be read as your message (as written below) will slowly dissolve in water).

Our virtual walk will be open for you to do any time, but we are asking people complete the walk between November 7th - 14th.

***SPECIAL NOTE***:  To be assured of receiving your Memorial Walk packed including Mask, Beads, and Care Card, you must register before October 28th.  We will do our best to fulfill registrations after that date but cannot promise they will arrive in time for November 7th. 

***** ALL registrations received by November 7th will participate in our 10am ceremony.*****
