Suicide Prevention Awareness Walk draws crowd despite weather concerns

Veteran's Memorial Park is a place of remembrance for local fallen heroes in past wars.

On Saturday, October 7, the park became a sight for hope as more than fifty walkers gathered to take a stand for Suicide Prevention awareness. The event was sparked by Suicide Prevention Awareness Committee (SPAC) member Gina Lamb of Malta.

"There have been a lot of suicides along the Hi-Line unfortunately in the last few years," said Gina Lamb, who also works with the Phillips County Coalition for Healthy Choices. "There is a good showing here and I am pretty excited about it."
