   Preparing for The Overnight Walk with Philip Martinez

   In this episode I am joined by the AFSP Illinois Chapter Board Chair, Philip Martinez. Philip has been involved in two of the AFSP Overnight Walks in Chicago and will be participating again June 13th. We discuss his previous experience with the overnight walks as well as his role as Team Captain for the AFSP Illinois Team for the upcoming walk. Once a year, thousands join together to walk through the night to fight suicide. The connections people make last a lifetime, and the funds you raise will save lives. As you walk 16+ miles from dusk till dawn, you'll find support and understanding in a community of others affected by suicide. Together, we will help put a stop to this leading cause of death. You can register now for the AFSP's Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk in Chicago on June 13th ⁠here⁠ (https://www.theovernight.org/home). If you are in crisis, please call or text the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠National Suicide Prevention Lifeline⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ by dialing ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠988⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://988lifeline.org/).
