Tyrone to Participate in Out of the Darkness Walk

By Elexis Hess, Co-Editor in Chief • August 29, 2024 • 83 Views

The annual Blair County Suicide Prevention and Awareness Walk will take place at Lakemont Park, Altoona on Sunday, September 8th at 11:00 am.

The Tyrone High School Aevidum Club would like to invite students, staff, and members of the Tyrone community to join them and support suicide prevention and awareness.

“I think this is a great way to honor all people who have committed suicide and to support their families. It also is a way to bring people together who may struggle with mental health,” said Aevidum president Rosie McKernan

Participants are asked to represent Tyrone by wearing Tyrone gear. Interested students or teachers can register to join the team or donate online by clicking the link below.

Sign-up or donations

Vendor tables and activities begin at 9:30 am. The walk for awareness starts at 11:00 am.
