What is the Ride 2 End Suicide?
This is the 10th annual bicycle ride fundraiser to raise money for suicide awareness, prevention, education and community support.
This ride brings together survivors of suicide loss, their families and friends, mental health advocates, and local biking enthusiasts. It’s an opportunity to move for something that matters! Whether you ride for mental well-being, recovery, in memory of a loved one, or general support, the outcome is the same - to come together as a community to be there for one another and raise money for life saving suicide prevention programs.
