WALT'S WALTZ STORY
Walt's Waltz was founded in memory of Walter "Walt" Crooks, a teacher and musician who struggled with treatment-resistant anxiety and depression and passed by suicide in 2019 at the age of 35. In the days after his passing, his brother Will told their mother Susan, "We will start a movement. If we save one life, it will be worth it."
Named after Walt's love of 3/4 time music, Walt's Waltz works to break the stigma around mental health and create safe, supportive spaces where people can find hope and healing. What began as a family's promise has grown into a movement dedicated to saving lives.
