A good cause

I don't know about you, but I always try to give something to charities every year. I was fortunate to always have had a healthy life, a great family, no tragedies, no accidents, no unwelcome surprises (touching wood now). So I think it is only right to every now and then donate some money, time or something to people less fortunate.
One way to do this is by sponsoring people I know that are doing an amazing effort to raise money. Some run a marathon, others climb a mountain.
If you feel like you are also one lucky person and that you could spare something, here's a worthwhile cause. I'll copy paste my friend's email below. Feel free to have a look at the link. It would be great if he could join this walk.

"Hey...

Please support me as I take an amazing journey. The Out of the Darkness Overnight Experience is a 20-mile walk over the course of one night in NYC June 7-8. Net proceeds benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, funding research, education, and awareness programs – both to prevent suicide and to assist those affected by suicide.

I've personally experienced this loss and shared the pain with friends and the families of those that have passed. I need to raise $1000 to participate in this walk which I've already donated a good portion of my own money. Appreciate your donation if you can help!! Just follow this link and you can use a credit card etc. Thanks so much! Means lots to me and my friends that have dealt with this epidemic.
