The Walk for Zero Suicide is returning to the Quad Cities for its third year on Saturday, Sept. 7. Participants will begin at the walking path entrance of the I-74 bridge on the Moline side before proceeding to cross the bridge. Prior to the 10am race, there will be a moment of silence after a name call out remembering those who have passed due to suicide.
More than 100 people walked the I-74 bridge during the event in 2023, which raises money for local mental health efforts in the Quad Cities.
