Why we chose to do a lantern walk

We not only want to bring suicide awareness to all communities but we want to honor those we have lost.  We lose far too many people to suicide which can be prevented.
Our son, Brandon, took his own life on June 25, 2018 while serving in the US Navy.  Since his death, we have made it our mission to end the suicide epidemic in our Armed Forces by creating The Brandon Act which was passed as part of the National Defense Authorization Act in 2021.  The Brandon Act has saved hundreds of service members who have received help by invoking it.
When walkers check in the day of the event, they will receive a lantern with the name(s) of who you will be walking in honor of.  The lanterns will be yours to keep.  We are asking our walkers to submit photos with names and dates as a tribute to who we have lost to suicide.  We will be displaying these photos during our reception.
