This is the link to the Out Of Darkness walk in Modesto on September 14, 2013... I have organized a team, called Ryan M. Lauchland Memorial Fund, and is comprised of friends and family that want to join in, in honoring the memory of my brother while bringing awareness to the epidemic that is suicide...
There is no cost associated with the walk - you can choose to donate to the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention, or not. You can also contact me directly if you wish to donate to the Ryan M. Lauchland Memorial Fund, which is a registered and fully functional 501(c)3 Nonprofit corporation..
I am trying to get t-shirts made for the team, which should be available for purchase at or before the walk.
Today is a rough day. I am burdened with my own pride, as I strive for excellence with this Fund. I want so badly for it to be successful, and I want the world to see that I did it.
Which is awful. My heart truly isn't this proud. It's all about Ryan... But there are moments, for sure. Like now... That I want people to see - and I mean truly SEE - that I am capable of this assignment.
My baby brother, if you can hear me in Heaven,
I want you to know that no amount of paperwork or checklists could ever fulfill me like being a sister does. You are not replaced. Never can be. The memory of your struggles propel me to help people. I want someone, somewhere, to see that they don't have to end their pain the way you thought that you had to. There is not a magic pill, but there is hope. Always hope.
I love you.
