The 3rd annual Ruck To Live takes place in Brighton, Michigan September 28th. Veterans Connected is once again putting on this great event.
Ruck To Live
According to their press release, The purpose of the event is to raise support for and awareness of service members and Veterans, roughly 44 of whom we lose to suicide each day. This number has risen from 22 in 2019 and since then the civilian suicide rate has risen at the same rate. So we are inviting all whom
may be battling with suicidal thoughts or has been effected by suicide to join us and “Together We Heal”.
The release went on, All donations will be acknowledged both on social media and on the day of the event on the sponsor banner. We will also have special events in downtown Brighton once the Ruck Marchers return from their journey. We hope you will join us in supporting our mission to reduce suicides.
