The “Save a Life” Community Walk will be held in San Diego, California on Sunday, October 28th. The walk is to raise awareness about teen suicide. It will be held at the Balboa Park. It is a 5k walk.

Suicide is the third leading cause of death for youths aged 15 through 24. For the 10 to 14 age range, it is the fourth leading cause of death. Funds raised from the walk will be used for suicide prevention programs and outreach in Southern California.

“It’s not much but it feels like it’s all we can do at this point,” said Dawn Miller. Miller lost a son to suicide at 27-years-old in 2005. “We can’t change history, as much as we would like. We don’t want anyone else to have to deal with the same thing and it seems like it’s impacted so many people even in our small community.”
