Greetings All:

I am participating with my colleagues at Short Pump Rotary Club in The Jay Walkers Challenge during the month of September, which happens to be Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. The Challenge invites teams of "Jay Walkers" to work together to walk (or run) 800,000 steps over the course of the month. By doing so, we will have walked one step in honor of every life lost worldwide annually to suicide. 

Our Short Pump Rotary team is raising funds which will cover the cost to train at least four local medical clinicians with the suicideprevention method called Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS). It costs $420 to train each clinician but the Virginia Department of Health will match us for each clinician training we cover. If you can help me reach my personal fundraising goal of $840, that will cover the cost of CAMS training for four (4) clinicians in our community and help save lives.

Thanks for your consideration and support!

Eric
