Welcome to Jerry's Walk!

We are a non-profit organization established to remember those who were lost to suicide. Our goal is to end the silence and stigma surrounding suicide and depression while raising money for suicide prevention programs in the Ohio Valley area.

Jerry's Walk 2025

Sunday April 27, 2025

Jerry’s Walk 2025 was a huge success, and we’re so grateful for the continued support from our community—thank you for walking with us, donating, and spreading the word. We can’t wait to see you again next year!

The Jerry William Memorial Fund supports the development of creative, yet practical, ideas of how best to tackle stigma and reach senior adults to reduce the rising rate of suicide among them.
