Our Mission

On average, 17 veterans and 1 service member commit suicide a day. Raising awareness of this issue by rucking 18km with 18 pounds. One Veteran suicide is too many…currently, 18 per day of our nation’s protectors take their own lives! The number has decreased from 22, but still, 1 is too many! Our mission is to end this tragedy by creating public and Veteran awareness of the situation and by providing means for those at risk to get the help they may desperately need.
