IRON MOUNTAIN -- The fourth Out of Darkness walk for suicide prevention in Iron Mountain is slated for this Saturday at City Park.

The walk is for those who have been affected by suicide or anyone that has suffered from depression. Both organizers lost a sibling to suicide and believe those that suffer from the mental illness of depression need to be saved the same as someone with cancer.

"I believe it was last year we lost seven people in a four month time frame to suicide and we just want to save people," said organizers Tina and Carole.
