The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention hosted a walk at Tropical Park on Saturday, drawing people to remember loved ones lost to suicide and to show support for those who are still struggling.

Organizers said the event also raised money for research, advocacy and education. The source report, a short video segment from CBS News Miami, does not give attendance figures, the total amount raised or the exact start time.

The walk is one of several events the foundation holds across the country each year to keep the issue in public view. For South Florida residents, it offers a local place to gather and learn about resources, and it is a reminder that help is available for people who are struggling. Anyone in crisis can call or text 988, the national Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
