ABOUT PEER-to-PEER FUNDRAISING
ABOUT JAY WALKERS
Jay Walkers gets its name Jay Gallagher, who lost his life to suicide in 2016 at the age of 18. Jay had so much life to live and so much love to give, yet the stigma of suicide prevented him from asking for the help he knew he needed. By participating in Jay Walkers, teams will do their part to break down stigma and become life-affirming activists for suicide prevention.
