The morning at a glance
Show up. Walk together. Make room for hope.
We got a later start sharing this year’s walk than we hoped. There is still time to take part, and you do not need to have the right words. Showing up matters.
Check-in and opening activities at 9 a.m. The walk starts at 10 a.m. Central.
Parkville, Missouri. Use the AFSP event page for any final organizer updates.
A free, noncompetitive walk of 1 to 3 miles, with an opening ceremony, activities, resource tables, and honor beads.
Come as you are
One step can help someone feel less alone.
We will walk in Leah’s memory and alongside everyone touched by suicide. Bring a friend, bring your family, or come and find us there. If you cannot attend, please share this page so another person can find the walk.
