Fundraiser for American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (Let's help get those numbers down)

in rayray •  7 years ago 


For those who don't know in the year of 2009 on October 14th I lost my older brother to the very harsh reality we call suicide. I live in the state of Colorado where the suicide rate has been drastically climbing. Here is the most recent statistics I have found for Colorado http://www.denverpost.com/2016/05/03/report-colorado-suicide-rate-climbs/

I was recently asked to participate in raising money for this cause and I excited to jump on board. In fact I have decided to make this an annual thing and always try to top the previous year. I set the bar pretty low this year do to the fact that it is the first one. My goal is to reach $300 by October 6th.

I setup the fundraiser on my Facebook account (find the link below). I know that other individuals who have lost love ones to this tragic act. Just a little can go a long way to help save other lives. All proceeds will go directly to American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Here's that link https://www.facebook.com/donate/1893571057627609/
Thank You very much to everyone!
