Well I decided to participate in the Overnight Out of the Darkness walk on June 9th in NYC in honor of my friend Tom who passed away on Halloween of 2006. It is a 20-mile walk for suicide prevention that lasts from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
I am trying to raise $1000 for the event and am about 35% there and that is fine because I have a few months. I also have a few months to prepare myself for a walk that may make my legs fall off. I may have to do some training beforehand. I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week but I still think my feet are going to be burning. However, this is all for a good cause and it gives me something I can actually do for my close friend who I couldn't help while he was alive. Maybe I will help some other person not cause the same hurt and pain for their friends and family.
