It infects families in unbelievable ways. There was a family at our first walk who had FIVE members of the family who had committed suicide over a 15 year period. All but one were young men; the fifth was in his 40s.

Sounds like a good idea. It's high time people finally realized the gravity of the situation. People may object saying that suicide doesn't kill as much as donkeys or car collisions, however the occurence of suicide is surely a clear indicator of social problems of today. If we continue to allow them to happen, it'll simply continue on and on. We certainly don't want suicide to be a leading cause of death along with cancer right?
If people can proclaim that genetics don't always dictate destiny if we play our cards right, surely social illnesses as reflected in suicide can also be prevented?
This run is a fantastic idea. I'm all for it.
