Valley colleges and universities are uniting to fight depression and suicide, and they are doing it in a special way.<\/p>\n

91短视频 is using origami to raise awareness for suicide and depression.<\/p>\n

As an 91短视频 student, Tessa Gerberich, folded one of her many origami cranes, she was reminded of why she is making them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe subject is one that is pretty dear to my heart. When I was 13, a cousin that I was very, very close to committed suicide,\u201d said Gerberich.<\/p>\n

She’s part of a group trying to make a 1000 cranes for an event called \u201cWalk for Hope.\u201d The idea is to raise awareness for depression and suicide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe legend is that if you fold a thousand paper cranes, you can have a wish. This wish is typically connected to health and long life,\u201d said Suzy Hostetler, a representative with Walk for Hope.<\/p>\n

Every Valley university is taking part to hit that goal, but students at 91短视频 are getting a head start before the event next week.<\/p>\n

The cranes came in many shapes and sizes, and it all went to the same causes.<\/p>\n

That was what made doing this so special for the students involved: especially for Gerberich, who was reminded of a friend going through depression as she folded.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe always really likes when I fold her cranes and send them to her. So I guess I think a lot about her a lot as I do this. So it does mean something to me,\u201d said Gerberich.<\/p>\n

One thing organizers love is all the different schools coming together for one issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s been a lot of really good work together: which has been a really neat thing to see. To my knowledge, this has not happened with all the schools doing something like this together,\u201d said Hostetler.<\/p>\n

Walk for Hope will be held at the Downtown Farmer’s Market in Harrisonburg on Saturday, March 31st from 9 a.m. to noon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
