In 2013, we lost our daughter Marie to suicide. This heartbreaking loss led us to create the Ride 2 End Suicide. We still miss Marie every day, and it’s hard to believe she’s been gone for over 11 years. The Ride is now in its 10th year, supporting suicide prevention services in Michigan.

All funds raised through this effort directly support Common Ground, a vital organization that provides suicide prevention and crisis intervention services to those in need. Common Ground offers 24/7 confidential support, helping individuals in crisis move from despair to hope. Their services, including counseling, crisis response teams, and community outreach, save lives every day.

By contributing to this cause, you’re not just making a donation; you are providing immediate help to someone who may be at their lowest point, offering them the chance to find hope and healing. Your support is critical in continuing to provide these life-saving resources and ensuring that no one has to face their struggles alone.

Join me in supporting this simple mission: helping others find their smiles. Your contribution provides hope to those struggling and funds critical resources that can save lives.

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference in bringing light to those in darkness.

Thank you for your generosity and for being part of this effort!
