The crowd hears from Caleb Herrin, a junior at Lycoming College and president of the student AFSP chapter there.
The walk is preceded by registration in the Field House, where teams gather and walkers turn in their pledges.
Friends and family gather in memory of a loved one lost to suicide.
Walkers had the opportunity to place yellow flags along the walkway in remembrance ...
... or to offer words of encouragement.
Members of the PA National Guard add their solidarity to the cause.
Whether two- or four-legged, walkers aid the fight against despair.
A hundreds-strong throng follows the 2-mile course.
