Save the One Memorial Walks | Suicide Prevention Action Network of Idaho

SPAN Idaho is walking all across Idaho this October. We walk to remember one lost, and to save one still with us. Suicide takes a life in Idaho every 40 hours leaving behind devastated family, friends, co-workers and communities each time. Idaho consistently ranks among the top ten states in number of suicides per capita. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among Idaho’s youth. Together we can change these statistics and save lives.

By walking to remember those lost, we can also raise public awareness about suicide as a preventable form of death. We all have the ability to Save the One next to us—at work, on the school bus, at the dinner table. Join us in this statewide effort and help save lives.
