I also seem to be passionate about veteran suicide.
Last year I did a walk for American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
I will still do it again but this year I am going to concentrate on a different organization.
I will be working with Carry the Fallen and Active Heroes.
On September 12th I will be doing a 12 mile ruck for Carry the Fallen.
I will start out with 22 lbs in my pack, 1 pound for each veteran that commits suicide every day.
For every 22 dollars I raise, I will add 1 pound.
So if I raise $550 I will add 25 extra pounds for the 12 mile ruck.
If I raise my goal of $1100 I will carry an extra 50 pounds for 12 miles to raise money for veterans dealing with PTSD and suicidal thoughts.
I don't know what my top end weight limit will be for this but I will attempt to carry the weight for what I raise.
Veterans with PTSD don't get the choice of NOT carrying their weight.

I posted these pics before but I need to keep them in mind.
