"LET’S STOP SUICIDE IN ITS TRACKS" SHOE DRIVE

LET’S STOP SUICIDE IN ITS TRACKS!

For this year's Broward Out of the Darkness Community Walk, to commemorate those lives lost to suicide, I want everyone to bring a pair of shoes to the Broward Out of the Darkness Walk. The shoes should represent people from every walk of life, military, children, teens, women, men, working boots, men's dress shoes, women's high heels, gym shoes, sandals, slippers, house shoes, etc.





 I seek to accomplish several things with this exhibit, I want the shoes to represent our loss, our grief, our struggles, and our mission to prevent suicide:

• First & foremost, we can STOP SUICIDE IN ITS TRACKS, and this exhibit will help bring attention to those lost to suicide.
• Secondly, for those left behind, know that YOU NEVER WALK ALONE, for together we will walk this path side-by-side, and we will greif, heal and make a difference in someone's life.
• Thirdly, for those who suffer from suicide ideation, I want you to know that HEALING IS A STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS, and we are here to hold your hand, and listen, and show you that we care for you.
• Lastly, and certainly so very heartbreaking, these EMPTY SHOES represent our loved ones who will never be forgotten. May their memories and names live forever in all our hearts, and may we never forget them.

 After the Walk, those shoes left behind will be donated to a charitable organization.
