Save a Life

Trek for Life and Pedal Your Butte-Off!TM are events that raise awareness of mental health issues and high rate of suicide in high altitude communities. These events are designed to hope and help by stimulating a dialog through community education, addressing the stigma associated with mental health illness, lead the fight against suicide, and provide mental health services for those who are un(der)insured.

In these high altitude communities called the 'suicide belt,' suicide is at epidemic levels at 3 to 4 times the national average!

Walk with us to build awareness and let others know that "You Don't Have to Walk Alone!"
