About 15 teams participated in the Out of the Darkness Walk Saturday, March 21, in hopes of spreading suicide awareness.
The annual walk took place at Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi. The event raised more than $7,000 for awareness and suicide education.
One of the teams was named Kristin’ Katz in honor of Kristin Pierce.
Kristin’s mother works at KRIS 6 News and lost her daughter in 2020. She says people who think about suicide should know they are not alone.
“After having lost my daughter – it’s a pain that I wish upon no one. And so, we’ve lost Kristin, so we feel that if nothing else we can try and help someone else make a different choice. Find help and find support,” Mari said.
