At 19 years old, Kevin Hines attempted to take his life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s a jump few people survive. Hines says he regretted his decision as soon as he jumped and prayed to survive. He hit the water at 75 mph and broke several bones, but a sea lion kept him afloat until rescuers arrived.
Today, he doesn’t take one day for granted.
Come hear his incredible story and how he’s saving others. The City of Montgomery is proud to welcome this world-renowned mental health activist, award-winning filmmaker, bestselling author, award-winning speaker, and suicide prevention champion on Monday, October 23 at 7:00 p.m. at Good Sheperd Church (8815 E. Kemper Road, Cincinnati, OH 45249).
In the United States alone, there are one million suicide attempts and over 40,000 deaths every year. Hines says his goal in sharing his story is to encourage people never to lose hope and to know that we are in charge of our own stories.
