The Miller School of Medicine, in partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), will host the 2010 Miami-Dade County “Out of the Darkness” 5K walk on the University of Miami’s Coral Gables campus on Sunday, October 24, starting at 10 a.m. Registration is from 9 to 10 a.m. or online until Saturday, October 23 at 11:45 p.m.

The Out of the Darkness Community Walks are 3- to 5-mile walks taking place in more than 200 communities across the country this fall, with the proceeds benefitting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. By walking in the Out of the Darkness Community Walks, you will be walking with thousands of other walkers nationwide to raise money for AFSP’s vital research and education programs to prevent suicide and save lives, increase national awareness about depression and suicide, and provide support for survivors of suicide loss.

Lifeguards, UM’s Suicide Prevention Outreach Program, will participate in the walk to raise money and awareness for suicide prevention.
