Originally: The Tyler Project will hold a walk for awareness and the prevention of suicide next Thursday at 3:30 p.m. starting at East Hampton Middle School.

The walking route will go to Main Beach, where participants can take a bus back to the starting point. The sign-up fee is a suggested donation of $20, which includes a T-shirt. Educational literature pertaining to mental health and community resources will be available at the event.

“This is to let everyone know why this matters,” said Valinda Valcich, who founded the Tyler Project in memory of her son, Tyler, who took his own life in May 2014. The Tyler Project’s first walk for awareness was held last November.
