THE 9th annual Into the Light Suicide Remembrance and Awareness Walk takes place on 11 September from Durban View Park, Marine Drive, Umhlanga Rocks, from 8.30am to 11.30am.
The purpose of the walk is to create more awareness and offer survivors a way to honour their loved ones, whom they’ve lost to suicide.
This year walkers will use pebbles to write messages to their loved ones and will be walking to the pier to release the pebbles from there into the sea.
This walk is for everyone, whether affected by suicide or not.
Free registration packs will be available which include a yellow ribbon, Survivors of Suicide materials and resources, South African Depression and Anxiety Group materials and resources and a pebble to write a message to walkers’ lost loves ones.
A donation of R30 is asked to cover costs. Contact 083 256 5993, 083 652 0117 or email support@survivorsofsuicide.co.za
