Every day, on average, 22 veterans who made it back home from deployments lose the battle within themselves and commit suicide. One is too many - 22 is unconscionable.
Run for Valhalla Races LLC was created by a Marine veteran tired of seeing his friends lose their fight at home, after winning it wherever they deployed.
We have teamed up with Mission 22 - a great organization that exists to combat veteran suicide - and the majority of what is brought in from these races will go to Mission 22 to help continue the fight.
Getting the suicide rate of veterans down to zero a day may be unrealistic, but if we can work to get it down to 21, we are well on our way to doing just that!
Founded by veterans, Mission 22 provides much needed support, programs, and resources to veterans and their families.
This is why we have teamed up with this fantastic organization and am humbled that you have decided to, too, by entering one of our races or making a donation to Mission 22.
We encourage you to learn about Mission 22, what the organization offers, and how you can get involved.
