The walk is driven by personal motivations, as both friends have experiences with people close to them who have committed suicide, and they want to do something concrete in the fight against suicide. According to SVT Nyheter, Eric Sahlén described the journey as long but for a good cause. The friends have prepared with new shoes, many walks, and blister plasters, but the most important thing, they believe, is the support they have received.
The specific fundraising goal for Suicide Zero has not been disclosed, and it is unclear how many people have joined or are supporting the walk besides the two friends. Additionally, the exact route they are taking around Vättern during the six days remains unspecified, and details about their personal experiences with suicide, such as who was affected or when it occurred, have not been shared.
It is long but it is for a good cause.
