Sharing Kindness Suicide Awareness Walk
Our annual Suicide Awareness Walk will take place on Saturday, May 16th at Veterans Park Beach in Hyannis, MA. We hope you join us to raise awareness and end the silence around suicide.
Last year, over 600 walkers joined us — a record-breaking number — raising over $81,000 for our suicide awareness and prevention programs! We’re amazed by the support from our community and are looking forward to another event filled with hope, healing and humanity.

About the event
The signature fundraiser for Sharing Kindness, the Suicide Awareness Walk is an annual three-mile walk in May that brings together community members to remember those who have died by suicide, support survivors of suicide loss, and spread awareness. It is an annual day of healing, telling our stories and forming connections with others through shared experiences.
Why we walk
Since the inception of the Suicide Awareness Walk in 2017, our primary goal has been to raise awareness of suicide. Why? Because the stigma that still surrounds suicide and mental health prevents many from getting the help they need. Through education, we can begin to build a more empathic, resilient community for those who are at risk. The walk also raises funds for our nonprofit, allowing us to continue serving those affected by suicide and grief, providing much needed programming on the Cape & Islands.
