What is the Ride 2 End Suicide?

The 2027 R2ES is the 12th annual bicycle ride fundraiser, raising 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.

2025 -Another Successful Ride!

THANK YOU to everyone who helped to make the 2026 Ride 2 End Suicide such a great event!!! We thank the sponsors, fundraisers, donors, volunteers, and over 100 riders for playing an integral role in this successful community effort. We depend on you, and we appreciate you!!!

Through your efforts, we can offer hope and help more people find their smiles!

The 2026 R2ES raised over $51,000 to benefit suicide prevention and mental health programs through Common Ground.
