Anti-suicide walk scheduled for Camden

CAMDEN – The first Out of the Darkness Community Walk will take place on Saturday, Oct. 11, at the Rockport Elementary School’s east campus. Check in will start at 9 a.m. and the noncompetitive, 5K walk will begin at 10 a.m.

Proceeds will go to the Maine chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to support local and national suicide prevention and awareness programs.

The coastal Maine walk is one of 150 being held nationwide from September through November and one of five in Maine, the others being in Portland, Bangor, Presque Isle and Waterville.

Nationally, the walks are expected to draw more than 30,000 walkers and to raise more than $2.5 million. Preregistration and fundraising can be done online at www.outofthedarkness.org. Donations can also be solicited using a sponsor sheet found on the Web site.
