EOI: The Silence Program – Walk, Grieve, Heal

Let’s walk with purpose.
Join The Flannel Project for our 10 Before 10 Challenge, held on the 10th of each month. We walk 10,000 steps before 10AM, donate $10, and honour those we’ve lost to suicide while standing with those still here.

We’ll walk from Betty’s Burgers to Orleigh Park and back — a gentle, meaningful walk that gives space for reflection, connection, and purpose.

Funds raised go directly to supporting SOS Flannel Cards for survivors and building the Flannel Flower Memorial Garden — a place of healing, remembrance, and hope.

Meet us outside Betty’s Burgers at 5:55AM. Look for the red and black flannel shirts. Bring water, comfy shoes, and an open heart.

Every step. Every dollar. Every life — still here.
