About

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. To learn more about the NC Bike team, please see the following article: https://www.army.mil/article/228092/veteran_suicide_awareness_bike_ride

Your Donation Supports

Mission 22

Mission 22 supports the veteran community with three main programs; veteran treatment programs, memorials and community social impact. Mission 22 provides treatment programs to veterans for Post-Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury or other issues they might be facing. It organizes events and builds memorials to create social impact and awareness for these issues. Mission 22 serves combat veterans, those injured in training who therefore could not deploy and victims of MST. Mission 22 also has an Ambassador volunteer program for people to get involved as well. Ambassadors educate the public on veteran issues, help get veterans into Mission 22 treatment programs and create resources in their communities. Through these three programs, it enables a push for the betterment of our community
