Suicide Prevention September 2022
Donation protected
Hello,
September is Suicide Prevention month and as many of you know, this is very dear to me as I’ve lost a good number of colleagues and friends thru suicide over the years who sacrificed their lives for our freedom and could not receive the same from our country due to extended wait times and finances.
There are many organizations out there now that help try to prevent any of this from happening and they all have goals and tasks and do as much as they possibly can.
I’m separating myself from them as I’d like to help out a few families in various parts of PA and NJ specifically helping them get to appointments as well as be seen by medical experts for their PTS(D)! And help with minor medical bills especially if Medicare or Medicaid are not involved.
Since 1990, I’ve been running fundraisers for veterans as well as other major organizations and due to my being sidelined last year, I was unable to be personally involved physically due to my left below knee amputation.
Now after 15 months I’m able to walk pretty well and have signed up for a difficult feat of walking 1.6 miles per day. I usually walk and workout 3-4 days per week so this will take a huge commitment from me and your help and support will encourage me to stay focused.
As much as I would love to hit the goal of 48 miles for September, I’m really trying to raise awareness as I too am suffering with PTS(D) and this means even more to me.
So your support means a lot to me and always has. I set a goal of $5,000 as that’s a good goal that is attainable. You can donate a fixed amount or pay per mile as I will be updating the site daily with my results.
I’m hoping to have company sponsors as well as donations so please share this with your contacts. If we raise more, then we can help more families directly and you will see this too on this page.
Thank you for your love and support for a very good cause and if you have any questions feel free to contact me or the person who shared this with you.
