Jay Walkers

Taking steps to end suicide.

What
Moves Us

Suicide statistics are staggering. Every year, we lose 800,000 people worldwide to suicide. Millions more lives are disrupted by suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts. We must take steps to better understand the scope of the problem and recognize that we can be a part of the solution.

Our Mission

The global community of Jay Walkers is dedicated to strengthening the societal suicide safety net through collaborative efforts and intentional action.

The Jay Walkers Challenge

The central campaign of Jay Walkers is the annual Jay Walkers Challenge in September. The Challenge invites teams of Jay Walkers to work together to complete 800,000 steps over the course of the month. When they do they will have walked one step in honor of every life lost worldwide annually to suicide. Teams also engage in healthy competition by completing additional challenge activities to support our mission.

Start Conversations
