Construction Hike for Hope – Let’s Walk for Mental Health!

Having worked in new construction for over 12 years, I’ve seen firsthand the importance of safety on the job site—but mental health should be just as much a priority as physical safety. As the Co-Chair for the Suffolk VA Out of the Darkness Walk, this cause is personal to me both professionally and personally.

That’s why I’m considering going to the Construction Hike for Hope—and I’d love for you to join me! Let’s come together to support mental health awareness in the construction industry.

📅 Saturday, May 3, 2025
📍 Blue Ridge Tunnel, East Trailhead | Afton, VA

Register today at afsp.org/vaconstruction and let’s make a difference together! I’m creating “Team Heart and Sole” if you’d like to join me:)

Over a year ago we crossed paths with the Co-Chairs for the Suffolk VA Out of the Darkness Walk and we have been involved volunteering from that day on. From fundraising to tabling at local events to promote the walk, we have tried to use our voice the best we could for those who are voiceless. For the 2024 Suffolk VA Out of the Darkness Walk Diana was honored to assist as the Walk Coordinator alongside with the assistance of her mentors (The Co-Chairs) and support from family and friends. Having walked last year wearing silver beads in memory of a service member who had passed 11 months prior to that walk, this year Diana continues to wear silver beads in his honor and has added blue and purple beads to her neck.

We will continue to advocate and fundraise for American Foundation for Su***de Prevention - Virginia Chapter as well as other local non-profit causes that tie into mental health. Let's break the Stigma and be the voice for the voiceless. Suffolk VA Out of the Darkness Walk #988
