Please join me and my family along with many others to walk to prevent suicide. We are walking in memory of my cousin Robbie, and my uncle Michael, but also to raise money for others and to prevent other families from going through what we did.

*This is also an attempt for us to get the word out to stop prescription drug sales online! Thousands of people are getting prescriptions filled online, without having an actual prescription., by doctors who have never treated them. If we can put a stop to this, it may save many lives.


In the united states, 1 person dies every 16 minutes by suicide, claiming more than 32,000 lives a year. Close to 1 million people attempt suicide annually. Suicide is the 4th leading cause of death among adults 18-65. And the 3rd leading cause of death among teenagers and young adults.

We are walking with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. It is a nonprofit organization dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide, through research, education and reaching out to people with mood disorders and those impacted by suicide. It aims at improving the general awareness about prevention, warning signs and psychiatric illnesses.

We are asking people who knew my cousin, my uncle, or someone who has passed from suicide to join us on this walk.Even if you do not personally know someone we encourage you to join us.
If you cannot join us to walk please sponsor us by purchasing a t-shirt for $20, or making a donation. All profits from the t-shirts will be donated to the organization in honor of the Robert-Michael Team. We appreciate anyone that participates, whether walking, donating or spreading the word and look forward to seeing you on October 10th.

Donations can be made by cash or check. Even if you can or do not want to walk, please purchase a t-shirt to help with our team donation.
