Walk spreads a message of HOPE

Tucked inside the bright blue wristband is a lifeline. Printed on the outside is the message: Hold on, pain ends. Inside, the crisis text line for the Mental Health Center of America is embossed inside the wristband. The wristbands were handed out to the several hundred participants who walked across the Long Bridge on Sunday to raise awareness about suicide prevention and to raise money for Underground Kindness to fund speakers and programs at local schools.
