OSI Detachment 813, Minot Air Force Base, ND, agents and their families joined the local Minot AFB community on September 7 in a walk in support of suicide prevention and awareness.

Team 813 walked a 5K with hundreds of other Minot community members throughout the downtown area. This particular walk also took place in hundreds of communities across the country this year, with the proceeds benefiting programs in support of suicide prevention and awareness. Team 813 raised more than $1,875 and ranked in the top five teams for funds raised in the local community.

The overall Minot community walk raised more than $34,000 and the community has plans to continue to raise money through the end of the year. The money raised goes toward vital research and education programs to prevent suicide and save lives, increase national awareness about depression and suicide, and provide support for survivors of suicide loss.
