  Speaker 1: about an event that's coming up this Saturday, the Sioux
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Falls Out of the Darkness Community Walk. First of all, Janet,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: thank you for doing what you do, and let's talk
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: about the walk that's coming up Saturday and how folks
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: can still get involved.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, John, thank you. Yes, this coming Saturday, Saturday, September 19th,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: we are going to be having the Sioux Falls Community
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Out of the Darkness Walk. And we will be at
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the Levitt Bandshell downtown Sioux Falls on Saturday. We open
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: registration at 1130. We have a program beginning at 1,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: and then we'll have a community walk where everybody gets together,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: supports one another, takes care of one another, and walks
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: as a community for suicide awareness and prevention in not
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: only Sioux Falls, our surrounding communities, but for South Dakota.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: And to get involved, you can just go to our website.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: That website is AFSP. It stands for American Foundation Suicide Prevention. Again, AFSP.org
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: forward slash Sioux Falls, all one word. Very, very nice.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: And I'll throw a link on our Facebook page to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: make that really easy to find. The event is, again,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: from 11 to 2, is that correct?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: 11.30 opens registration. 1 o'clock is our program. It should
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: last about a half hour, 35 minutes right in there,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and then the walk. So however long it takes people
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to walk to the falls and back to the Leavitt,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: it's about a mile, maybe just slightly over a mile walk.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: So I would say 2 o'clock is a good guesstimate, 2, 2.15.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Very nice. So if you want to get down there
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: a little early and get all set up and ready
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to go and and then be a part of the event.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: The Out of the Darkness Walk is, again, this Saturday.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: And there are a lot of different teams that are
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: already involved. So if somebody wants to contribute to one
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of those teams, that might be a really good way
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: to do it. And on the website, they can click
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and just make a donation. If you don't know somebody
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that's on a team, you can make a donation that way.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: But if you know somebody from one of these teams,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the teams would all love your donation to go through
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: them because there's a little bit of a competition too,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: isn't there?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, there for sure is. Yes, especially when it's different
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: families that know one another. And it's all friendly competition,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: which is wonderful. But it could be a business team
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: competing against another business team. It's a lot of fun
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: when they have those friendly competitions.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And again, the event is coming up this Saturday, the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: 19th of September, the Sioux Falls Out of the Darkness Walk.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: This is not the first walk that you've done. I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: know you've done this for years. How long have you
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: been involved in this?
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I have been involved with suicide awareness and prevention in
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: South Dakota. This is my 14th year now. All right.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: So you've been involved for a while. And again... the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Out of the Darkness Walk. I know they've been doing
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: these for several years. And it's a group of people
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that are wonderful people who come together to hopefully make
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a difference. And I believe you are making a difference.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: So this is a really good thing to be a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: part of. If this is something that kind of rings
• 3:15
