the american suicide prevention foundation coordinates private and state initiatives and events like this fundraising walk are springing up all over the us it's a 2 mile walk through largely deserted suburban streets can't really do any good yet it's a small town so when anything goes on all eyes are kind of yeah so i think that's super important but they didn't have a lot of advertisement for the event so hopefully this is just the beginning of many more the current or. kill me every year carbons mother sings the national anthem at the mile city rodeo it's a venue for youngsters just like her son to prove their mettle everyone here knows her story. and now sharla general hopes that reaching out will help to address the tragic issue of suicides. a are.
