The one-mile walk, “Warriors of Hope: Fighting for Suicide Awareness and Prevention,” aims to honor those who have committed suicide and offer support to the families who have lost a loved ones.
Pat Harrington, co-chair of the organization and a member of the Murray Womens’ Club, pitched the idea to the organization after her daughter attended a suicide awareness walk in Memphis, Tennessee in 2014. After hearing how wonderful and thrilling it was, she decided to try it out in Murray.
