Hundreds of people took part in an overnight walk through Manhattan on Saturday with the goal of stopping suicide. VMurdockTV caught up with some of the participants of the Out of the Darkness OvernightWalk as it kicked off from the Intrepid Museum.
-- Hundreds of people are taking part in an overnight walk in Manhattan in the fight against suicide.As CBS2's Vanessa Murdock reports, the walk takes place in one night with one goal -- stop suicide."I attempted suicide seven years ago, and there are so many people who are suffering from mental illness in silence, and so we need to talk about depression and bipolar and everything else and just normalize it because we're not alone," Hsu said.
Hsu was the honor bead ceremony speaker and participated in the walk, wearing green beads to symbolize a personal struggle.He also wears a permanent reminder of his godbrother, Matthew Goldbourne -- a tattoo."This is for a brother, my brother Jonathan," said a participant named Ben. Nicole Ryan, participating in her tenth walk, shares she lost a friend to suicide and she too struggles. For her, this walk is everything.
Before the walk, Hsu took the stage to introduce others walking, including Yoni Samuel Seigel and his wife, Meg, who were wearing silver beads for their son Noah, who died by suicide in November while serving in the Army.
