Past Out of the Darkness Walks
The Tommy Fuss Team has walked in AFSP Out of the Darkness events every year since 2007 — in memory of Tommy, and in hope for all those who struggle.
What began as a small group of family and friends has grown into a community of walkers, donors, and advocates united by love for Tommy Fuss and a commitment to suicide prevention. Each year we lace up our shoes, wear our red shirts, and walk — because every step matters.
Below is a record of our walks through the years. The 2025 New York City Overnight and the 2025 Morris County Community Walk have their own dedicated pages with photos, videos, and full recaps.
