In-person registration will begin at 9:30am with the ride going kick stands up at 10:30am. Registration is $20 per driver and $10 per passenger.

This motorcycle ride supports the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s education and research programs, and the organization’s bold goal to reduce the annual rate of suicide 20 percent by 2025.

“By joining together to ride through the Emerald Coast, we hope to bring awareness of this important health issue to our community,” said Jessica Roberts, Florida Panhandle Chapter Board Chair. “Mental health conditions like depression and anxiety disorder affect one in four of us during our lives, and yet too often these illnesses go untreated. No one should have to lose a battle to mental illness because they are embarrassed to seek help, or because they can’t get the help they need to be healthy.”

The Emerald Coast Ride to Fight Suicide is one of many motorcycle rides being held by AFSP chapters nationwide this year. Funds raised at Ride to Fight Suicide will support AFSP research efforts, including funding research studies.
