Out of the Darkness

First, I'd like to thank everyone for your continued support of this incredibly important cause.

This year, I will be joining with thousands of people nationwide this fall to walk in AFSP's 2008 Out of the Darkness Community Walk to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I would appreciate any support that you give me for this worthwhile cause. I've had the honor of organizing the Dallas/Fort Worth the past couple of years, and its given me the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people. It's comforting knowing that there are so many people that are going through very similar emotions that I've either gone through or may be experiencing now.

I'll be walking again this year in memory of my little brother, J.Brandon Gould. We lost J.Brandon when he was just 15 years old. I believe the most important thing from this point forward is educating young people about suicide...and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is making strides to do just that. 100% of the proceeds of this year's walk (and every walk for that matter) benefit AFSP. No donation is too small. Please help!

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is at the forefront of research, education and prevention initiatives designed to reduce loss of life from suicide. With more than 32,000 lives lost each year in the U.S. and over one million worldwide, the importance of AFSP's mission has never been greater, nor our work more urgent.I hope you will consider supporting my participation in this event. Any contribution will help the work of AFSP, and all donations are 100% tax deductible.

No donation is too small. Your support will go a LONG way! Thank you. I'll have more details on the walk a little bit later. It's going to be a HUGE Event this year...you won't want to miss it!
