Chicago Veterans 4th annual Ruck March!

Last year over 1,200 veterans, family members & supporters, laced up their boots and strapped on their rucks to march 22 Miles to honor and remember those we lost at home and on the battle field.

A new study released this year shows the number of veteran suicides have dropped from 22 to 20 veterans a day. What we and other organizations are doing collectively is making a difference. So on Friday, May 26, 2017, we will once again be hosting our annual ruck march. This year we will be rucking 20 miles!

Together let’s raise awareness of veteran suicide and help end this epidemic. If you’re as passionate about our cause as we are, we encourage you to sign up for the ruck march , volunteer for the event,  create a fundraising page, or if you’re up for it, do all three! This will be an amazing and emotional event we know you will be proud of.

Awareness is great, but action is better!

Our goal is to honor our fallen brothers and sisters and raise as much awareness as possible of PTSD and Veteran suicide through a patriotic 20 mile Ruck March, carrying 20+ pound rucks. The march kicks off at 8am sharp!
