Ride 2 End Suicide 2018

Charity Bike Ride September 8, 2018

Terri Jozefiak, Neighbor

We invite you to join us at the 3rd annual “Ride 2 End Suicide”, a charity bike ride on the Macomb Orchard Trail between Shelby Township and Romeo on September 8, 2018. This 20 mile bike ride encourages physical and mental strength.

Proceeds from our event are donated to suicide prevention programs at these organizations:

KnowResolve brings suicide prevention programming to local schools, to educate students about the fundamentals for suicide prevention, reduce the stigma associated with mental health disorders, promote mental health awareness, and connect those who are struggling in silence with available resources.

Please share our event with your social network to help spread the word. Through your support, you will be part of building a more resilient community. We hope to make a difference and save others from experiencing the tragedy of suicide that we endured when our youngest daughter Marie took her own life in 2013, at the age of 21. If we can save one family from this difficult loss, we will have succeeded in our mission. Thank you! http://ride2endsuicide.com/
