The BecomeOne Project Presents: The 4th Annual “One More Light” Suicide and Mental Health Awareness Walk.
The 4th Annual One More Light Suicide and Mental Health Awareness Walk was a heartfelt community event dedicated to breaking the silence, honoring lives lost, and shining a light on hope and healing. The walk is more than just a journey it’s a movement to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and remind those who are struggling that they are not alone.
Whether you’re walking in memory of someone, to support a loved one, or as part of your own mental health journey, your presence helps build a more compassionate and connected community.

But we will follow up with those moments so we can all hold on to this night in some way and take it with us.

The BecomeOne Project Presents: Project Tyler.
In 2016 our community lost Tyler to suicide. He was beautiful. He was popular. He was athletic. He was a good friend with a larger-than-life personality.
He was 16. He was a son. He was a boy. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States (AFSP). Suicide doesn’t discriminate…it doesn’t have a face or a personality, or a certain type of home or particular family.
We cannot continue to believe that it can’t happen in our homes or our neighborhoods, to our kids or our friends. It happens everyday.
