Normalize the conversation and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health. Honor and remember those we have lost to suicide and line of duty deaths, remind those who are still struggling they are not alone, and stand with those families whose lives are forever changed.  If you would like to donate in memoriam or support the event monetarily, you can do so here.  If you there is a specific cyclist or team you would like to sponsor, you can search for them here or on our Top Fundraisers list.
