Family hopes to spare other families from suicide with memorial

Everyone who attended the memorial 5K was invited to stamp their thumbprint “leaf” on the tree in either purple or teal, colors that signify suicide awareness. (Photo provided by SDSU Wellness Center)

Many of John’s family and friends, as well as others who support suicide awareness and prevention, attended the walk. Several gathered for a photo afterward. (Photo provided by SDSU Wellness Center)

The above graphic was used for t-shirts given to the first 100 walkers who showed up to the event. It was used for other promotional materials as well.
