Why we walk
We walk for those we love who we have lost and those who are still with us. The first Suicide Awareness Walk in Brookside was 2021 where the community raised $6,288.00 to help support educational trainings hosted by the SAM Foundation teaching how to interview in a crisis.
Shelly Doss first approached the SAM Foundation wanting to help spread awareness after the loss of a dear friend, Mary Lynn Gray.
Mary had a servants heart, she thrived on keeping a smile on others faces and helping others through hard times. Shelly and her friends couldn’t think of a better way to keep Mary's memory and kindness to help others alive than to create a walk in her memory to support the SAM foundation and educate others on suicide an mental health awareness.
Mary was a light to so many in her community and her loss is felt greatly throughout. Shelly is continuing the walk to continue to raise funds for the public educational programs to help others recognize signs so that they can intervene in a crisis. She walks to remember those who have been lost, those who survived and those she loves. Why do you walk?
Start a team in remembrance of someone or register WITHOUT a team. We just want to see your beautiful face on event day.
