SHELBY TOWNSHIP — The Ride 2 End Suicide community bike ride will return for its 11th year on May 16 at Stony Creek Metropark.
The fundraising event is an annual family-friendly bicycle ride that supports Common Ground’s suicide awareness, prevention, education and crisis intervention services.
Since the first Ride 2 End Suicide in 2016, the event has raised more than $310,000 for mental health programs.
The ride is available to all ages and abilities. The paved route is around 6 miles long, looping around Stony Creek Lake. Hydration stations, EMS and first-aid teams will all be provided. Adaptive bikes, e‑bikes and walking participation are welcome. The ride is a rain-or-shine event.
Ride 2 End Suicide will also feature a community program, music, remembrance moments, sponsors, a kids area and an opportunity to learn more about mental health resources.
According to a press release by Common Ground, the organization served more than 200,000 people in Michigan last year alone.
