The Walk for D.E.S. (Detect. Early. Signs.), a suicide awareness and remembrance event, will take place on Saturday, Sept. 10. The event, which will include a 5K walk/run, will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Manheim Township Park, 209 Petersburg Road, Neffsville.

The Walk for D.E.S. is one of many ways to honor the life of someone who died by suicide, show support to survivors of suicide, forward the cause of suicide awareness and prevention across Lancaster County, and provide resources and tools aimed at preventing suicide. The goal is to save lives and restore hope through awareness, prevention, and intervention. It was founded by Mark Schantzer, whose son, Desmond, died by suicide.
