Hikes to raise awareness of suicide

The state DEC is hoping to raise awareness about suicide and mental health. 

In 2014, the co-founders of 46 Climbs set a goal of hiking the 46 High Peaks in the Adirondacks during National Suicide Prevention Week. 

It was a fundraiser for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.  The effort has grown and now includes hikers from around the world.
