Community walks for suicide awareness and to remember Emily Alessi

May 1, 2014 - May 1, 2015 - 8 suicides
May 1, 2015 - May 31, 2016 - 4 suicides

Emily Ann Alessi - March 23, 1990 - October 30, 2014

Emily Ann Alessi, 24, passed away unexpectedly at her home in South Lake Tahoe, California on Thursday, October 30, 2014.
