Welcome to my fundraising page, I appreciate you taking the time to visit.
The National Alliance on Mental Health notes that suicide is "the 2nd leading cause of death among people aged 10-14, the 3rd leading cause of death among people aged 15-24, and the 12th leading cause of death overall in the U.S." Many of those we know and love have been touched by suicide in one way or another. Please help raise awareness, support those impacted, and stop the stigma often associated with mental health challenges.
I hope you are able to help. Any amount will help!

Ride 2 End Suicide 2022
Ride 2 End Suicide is an annual bicycle ride fundraiser to raise money for suicide awareness, prevention, education and counseling.
This ride brings together survivors of suicide, their families, friends, supporters and local biking enthusiasts. The Ride is an opportunity to move for something that matters –whether that’s for health, recovery, or in memory of a loved one with the goal to raise money for life saving programs.
All proceeds from this event will support these organizations:
Common Ground has been helping people move from crisis to hope for 50 years. Dedicated to helping runaway and homeless youth, victims of crime, people with mental illness, and others in critical situations, Common Ground is a lifeline for Oakland, Wayne and Genesee County residents. Common Ground provides services in person, via mobile crisis team, computer chat, texts, and calls - as well as support groups, victim assistance, legal clinic, youth shelter, apartment program and mentoring.
KnowResolve is dedicated to promoting mental health and preventing youth suicide through outreach, advocacy and education. Through suicide prevention programs and The SHED (an after school teen center), KnowResolve has connected over 140,000 students to information, resources and skills to promote resilience, self-empowerment, suicide risk factors, and how to connect those who are struggling to available resources.

- to fund those who take an active role in local suicide prevention
