What is the Ride 2 End Suicide?
The 2026 R2ES is the 11th 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 May 17th Ride 2 End Suicide such a great event!!! We thank the sponsors, fundraisers, donors, volunteers, and over 200 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 2025 R2ES raised over $76,000 to benefit suicide prevention and mental health programs through Common Ground.

Proceeds from this event benefit Common Ground - a 501(c3) organization located in Oakland County that responds to people in crisis and connects them to local intervention programs and services. Common Ground also answers Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (988) calls for the state of Michigan.
