We Are Team Suicide Prevention
Team Suicide Prevention is a group of eight local cyclists in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area who will be racing in this June’s Race Across America (RAAM). Our team of racers must cycle 3000 miles, night and day, continuously across 12 states, and climb over 170,000 vertical feet. Team racers and our amazing crew are granted a maximum of nine days to complete the course. Together with our partners, The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Hope Is Oxygen, The Coffee Bunker, and The Mental Health Association of Oklahoma, our goal is raising funds to support these crucial organizations in the forefront of suicide prevention and mental health awareness. Working together, we are restoring hope and saving lives. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to contribute to our partners’ budget to enable them to continue their most important work to help those in need. To join our team on this very important journey, we encourage you to visit our website to learn more about our mission. We are a 501c-3 organization and all donations are tax deductible. The Team Suicide Prevention team members are all from the Tulsa area and we have deep connections within our community. Our goal is to help support our partner organizations who help those in need.
We’ve just released a new video clip showcasing our riders/team. We hope you enjoy it and please share it with your family, friends, and colleagues. The start of RAAM is just 109 days away. That’s awesome. It’s a been a long journey and we are training hard and are busy with logistics and continue fundraising to get to the starting line. On average, each of our riders will ride another 2,000 miles in training by the start of RAAM. We can use your support. If you haven’t already, please consider a tax deductible donation to support our team and our mission.
In the meantime, please do everything you can to stay healthy. We’ve all been through a lot of challenges and adversity during the last twelve months. There’s perhaps a touch of spring trying to touch our cheeks and summer will follow and it will be time to enjoy the warm sunshine.
For Team Suicide Prevention, on June 19, it will be time to clip into our bike pedals in Oceanside, California and start racing across America with our riders and our amazing crew.
Thank You
Be Safe! Stay Safe!
