RIDING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
22 suicides a day, a suicide every 65 minutes, 8030 suicides each year.
Help us make a difference…
We are a ride, geared at raising donations and awareness for veteran suicide, PTSD and mental health.
The number 22, represents the number of veterans who have taken their lives each day and although that number has dropped to 16.5, 22 is synonymous with and has become a symbol for veteran suicide.
One is too many…
66 For The 22 was created as a cross country ride, to raise awareness for veteran suicide and stretches along what is probably the most famous road in the world. Historic Route 66 spans over 2,400 miles and crosses 8 states, starting in Chicago, Illinois and terminating at the Pacific Coast in Santa Monica, California.
We refer to it as “The mother of all healing roads”…
The riders, all who have lost brothers or sisters, to veteran suicide, ride across country and raise awareness and donations to support veterans mental health and programs that will help veterans cope with PTSD and other issues, resulting from their experiences in combat.
Our goal, is to escort families and veterans, who have lost family members or who served with a 22 veteran, picking up the cost of fuel and lodging, while experiencing our country, as it was at a better time. in 2026, we have decided to allow riders and drivers, since not everyone rides a motorcycle.
