SAN FRANCISCO Organizers of an overnight suicide anticipation walk in San Francisco are calling the affair a success this morning.
More than 11 thousand walkers turned out to remember loved ones and hoist awareness of despair and mental illness.
Walkers set out at sunset previous night from San Francisco's Crissy Field for the 20-mile round-trip. The walk finished up at six o'clock this morning in view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
The event raised one-point-seven (m) million dollars, and organizers with the American Foundation for Suicide anticipation say money is still coming in.
The money would be used to research the causes of suicide and fund education programs.
