About Jay Walkers
and the Jay Walkers Challenge
The Jay Walkers Challenge began in 2022 as a Suicide Prevention Awareness Month initiative. Teams were encouraged to walk and talk in hopes of breaking down the stigma of suicide.
From the beginning, The Challenge was met with great enthusiasm. Challenge participants eagerly completed steps and competed against others to be on the Steps Leader Board. Competition was a serious motivator!
As a new nonprofit, Jay Walkers is committed to ending suicide with a stepped up Jay Walkers Challenge in September and additional year-round initiatives that harness our participants' competitive spirit and their desire to join forces with others in the Jay Walkers community to end suicide!
About Jay
Jay Walkers gets its name from Jay Gallagher who lost his life to suicide in 2016 at the age of 18. Jay had so much life to live and so much love to give, yet the stigma of suicide prevented him from asking for the help he knew he needed. We've started Jay Walkers in memory of Jay and others like him whose lives were cut short by suicide.
