On Saturday, October 24, 2026, our community will come together for the 10th Anniversary Walk for Hope, a walk that represents more than an event; it represents hope, connection, and a shared commitment to suicide prevention and mental health support.

This mission is personal to me. My family has experienced the profound impact of mental health struggles, and losing a loved one to suicide is a heartbreak that stays with you forever. I carry that loss with me every day, and I also carry the hope that more support, more understanding, and more compassionate services can make a difference for others who are struggling.

That is why I am walking and asking you to stand with me. Your support helps reduce stigma, strengthen advocacy, and sustain the lifesaving services that Samaritans of Merrimack Valley provides throughout our community. Together, we can continue building a future where more people feel seen, supported, and encouraged to seek help.

Please consider making a gift of any amount toward my $1,000 goal. Every donation brings us closer to a stronger, more hopeful community, and every step we take together helps carry this important work forward.
