We’re almost there.

The Jay Walkers are just one walker away from breaking our all-time team record—and only $750 shy of raising $10,000 for suicide prevention. Both would be personal bests. And whether we hit those numbers or not, I’m already filled with so much gratitude.

To everyone who’s signed up to walk, donated, shared the link, or cheered us on from the sidelines: thank you. You’ve shown up with heart and hope. You’ve helped carry this mission forward, and you’ve reminded me once again that community is what makes the difference. (We’re all family! 😉 )

This walk isn’t only about honoring Jay. It’s about every life lost too soon. It’s about the families who wake up every day carrying grief. It’s about the friends who sit quietly with questions they’ll never get to ask or receive an answer. It’s about the people still here—fighting through the dark—and the ones who walk beside them and form a protective phalanx (in my case, my modern day Hoplites).

AFSP’s mission is to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. That means funding research, expanding education, advocating for policy change, and offering real support to those who need it most. It’s not abstract. It’s urgent. It’s personal.

So if you’ve been waiting to join or donate—now’s the time. Help us break records. Help us change lives. Help us show that love walks beside grief, and that together, we can light the way forward.

Always, for Jay.
Always, for so many others.
Always, with gratitude.
