Maine, you showed up this weekend. From Midcoast to Saint John Valley to Bangor. More than 500 people came together at three Out of the Darkness Community Walks to support our mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by su***de.

These photos capture some of the hope and connection we saw in Bangor, but that same sense of community could be felt across the state. Every person who walked brought their own story, their own connection, and their own reason for being there.

And Maine, we’re not done yet! Portland, you’re up next on September 26. Let’s keep this momentum going and come together for an incredible final Maine walk of the season.

Who did you walk for this weekend? Share their name or your reason for walking in the comments. 💙
