Mission 22 is for our veterans to seek help before they commit suicide Veterans are doing this 22 times a day and I know because of my own son who served our country. He had 20 years total with the government and served 13 years and was oversea for Iraq Freedom twice.. He received many medals and came home and suffered with ptsd. Please consider in his memory to support our veterans who can make a life be saved.. I know I wish my son was here to day.. but I want to get out the message to our Veterans they are and this company to see who cares. Please help

Non-profits in this fund are dedicated to serving the needs of wounded or disabled veterans and their families, ending homelessness and combating the high rate of suicide within the active, retired and veteran community. They promised to defend, we promise to support.

Two years ago, I was introduced to a group of active military men and women stationed at Fort Bragg. Every year, they embark on a Veteran Suicide Awareness and Prevention bike ride - starting in Butler, Tennessee and concluding in Nags Head, NC. Every 22 miles, the group stops to honor family and friends who have committed suicide - statistics state that every day 22 veterans take their lives, with the number increasing post-pandemic. Our church has been a stopping point on their journey, where they could clean-up, sleep and recharge before biking again. Suicide has effected our family, as well as the mental & physical struggles that follow suit of being a Veteran. This year, I plan to run 22 miles during the month of November, since that is when the ride will take place.
