"In a world where you can be anything, be yourself. Because you matter"

The Path To Hope Project is a non-profit organization run by two high school students. The goal of this project is to spread awareness and information about suicide prevention and mental health. The funds collected will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, an organization dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide.

Hi everyone! The volunteers below are running the New York City Marathon and will be raising money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Hoping to raise money for a great cause and spread some awareness, any donation is appreciated. Appreciate your time and donations!

Hi All! :) Thanks so much for making the time to read about a cause & nonprofit that I’m very passionate about!

In short, I’m raising funds to help enhance and promote mental health awareness & the challenges we see in our communities all the time. I have family who have been affected by this personally.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is a nonprofit that is always in need of support, now, even more than ever.

Please consider making any kind of a donation. Whatever you can give is truly appreciated. Thank you & take care! :)

On August 26th, my dad took his life. He was suffering severely with his mental health. We want to raise money to make sure others receive the help they need. He will always be loved and forever missed.

Hello, I'm Christopher. On October 28th, 2023, my brother Matthew tragically took his own life. In his memory and to raise awareness, I've committed to running a 50-mile ultramarathon around my 40th birthday in November 2024. My aim is to document my training journey, its challenges, and victories, illustrating how we can surpass our perceived limitations. All proceeds will benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Thank you for your support; I'm eager to make a difference together.

On World Mental Health Day, October 10th, I will be participating in an Olympic triathlon to raise awareness and funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

Please consider supporting this important cause as I swim, bike, and run to promote mental health and suicide prevention. Any size donation will be sincerely appreciated.

Hello, I am raising money for suicide awareness. My beautiful son Randy took his life 12 years ago. My brother-in-law and my uncle also took their lives within the past 14 years. We have raised over $10,000 for the cause. This year again, the suicide rate has gone up among Police, Doctors, and the LBGT community. 80% of all the money collected goes towards the cause. This cause also has a four-star rating. There is help out there. Please call 988 if you are in need of help. It is available 24 hours a day. Let's save some lives. Thank you!

September is National Suicide Prevention Month – a moment that serves as a powerful reminder that there are steps we all must take in looking out for loved ones, the people in our community, and those who have been impacted by this leading cause of death. I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt request. As some of you may know, I lost my father to suicide in January. The pain of his loss has been profound, and in his memory, I am determined to turn this personal tragedy into a beacon of hope for others.

My goal is to raise $5,000 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, dedicated to preventing suicide and supporting those affected. Your donation will fund critical programs and resources that provide support to individuals in crisis and promote mental health awareness.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. Together, we can help save lives and offer hope to those who need it most.

Please consider donating and sharing this message with your network. Your support means the world to me and can make a lasting impact on countless lives.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

Warm regards,

Charlotte
