Stop Soldier Suicide

Hi everyone! My name is Tracey Flynn, and I’m raising money for a cause that means a lot to me.

Stop Soldier Suicide

Stop Soldier Suicide Foundation is important to me because it gives me the opportunity to honor

the 2 most important men in my life. My Uncle Cubby, a 30-year Marine Veteran, who I’m so proud

of for his bravely and service to our country. He is someone who is very dear to my heart. I admire

my Uncle Cubby for his character, and his dedication to his family and country. My brother, who

committed suicide in 2016. He was one of the kindest, most compassionate people I know. He also

put others before himself. He kept all his pain to himself, never reaching out for help. I’m

committed to Stop Soldier Suicide because I know the pain of losing a loved one to suicide, my

brother, and the pride of having a family member service in our Armed Forces. My Uncle Cubby.

This fundraiser is my part in helping others never feel the pain of losing a loved one to suicide and

also honoring those who served our country.

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to me,

This fund raiser is to provide awareness and support for soldier suicide prevention. Everyone is familiar with the "22 a day" slogan but the real number is actually closer to 30. We are organizing this fund raiser in honor of our fallen friend and brother SSG. Souza aka "lunchbox" a dear friend and amazing human who fought a battle silently. We are here to tell you your not alone. All donations go to Stop Soldier Suicide, a non profit organization that provides treatment, phone assistance and other options to soldiers in need. Rather than simply ask for money we have organized a trail walk for our crew to put in the "leg work" so to speak for our cause. We thank you in advance for your contribution.

Throttle through the Darkness - Help us end veteran suicide!

This July, four proud members of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association® NC Chapter 15-3 and VA Chapter 27-1 — Curt “Rambler,” Dan “Kreacher,” "Jex" O, and Jon “Spooky” — will set off on a 6,500-mile motorcycle journey from Knotts Island, North Carolina to Tacoma, Washington, and back. This ride isn’t just about the road — it’s about raising awareness and critical funds to help stop veteran suicide.

We are veterans, and we’ve seen firsthand the toll that service can take — even long after the uniform is hung up. That’s why we’re riding: to support Stop Soldier Suicide, a nonprofit organization that uses cutting-edge methods to identify at-risk veterans and connect them with lifesaving, suicide-specific support.

Every dollar raised goes directly to Stop Soldier Suicide.

We are personally covering all of our own travel expenses — fuel, food, lodging, and gear — so you can be assured your contribution directly supports veterans in crisis.

The Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association® is a nationwide group of combat veterans who share a love for riding and a deep commitment to supporting our brothers and sisters in arms. This ride is one way we continue to serve.

Our goal: $15,000 — and every donation, big or small, brings us closer.

Please help us make this ride count. Share our story, spread the word, and donate if you can. Together, we can help end veteran suicide.

Thank you, and may God bless our defenders and this great nation.

Hello, my name is Grace. I have been serving in the Army National Guard for over 5 years. I am currently working on transitioning from enlisted to officer with OCS.

I want to raise awareness for those who know someone close who serves or has served and has had mental health issues or taken their own life. Veterans are at a 58% higher risk of suicide than those who haven't served.

With my own experience in knowing battle buddies and family members who have experienced this issue and taken their own life, I'd like to spread awareness and ask others to help me donate and make a change. Your donation will 100% be going to Stop Soldier Suicide. Thank you, God bless!

I'm taking the Stop Soldier Suicide 72-hole Golf Challenge in the month of May. You can pledge a flat amount or an amount per hole that I complete. I currently have 72 holes planned, PLUS you can donate for virtual holes I complete on my at-home simulator! All scores/results will be posted.

On March 23, 2025, we lost a beloved friend, a dedicated leader, and a remarkable Marine Corps veteran, Jeremiah Irwin. Jeremiah served our country with honor for 13 years, rising to the rank of Staff Sergeant before being discharged from active duty just last year. He was not only a leader but a beacon of hope and support for his fellow Marines, always putting their needs before his own.

After his service, Jeremiah pursued his passion for education at Duquesne University, where he studied to become a history teacher. His dream was to inspire the next generation, sharing his love for history and the lessons he learned through his military service. Jeremiah’s commitment to serving others extended far beyond the line of duty. He was a true mentor and friend to many.

Tragically, Jeremiah's battle with mental health challenges led to his untimely passing. His story is not just a personal loss but a stark reminder of the struggles faced by many veterans. The rising rates of suicide among our servicemen and women are alarming, and it is imperative that we take action to address this crisis.

To honor Jeremiah’s memory and to support those who continue to fight their battles, I am organizing this fundraiser to benefit Stop Soldier Suicide, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing veteran suicides and providing essential resources to those in need. I invite you to join in making a difference in the lives of veterans and their families.

Every dollar raised will be donated directly to the Stop Soldier Suicide foundation through this GoFundMe page. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help provide vital support, resources, and hope to those struggling with mental health challenges.

Thank you for your support in honoring my friend Jeremiah. We all miss you dearly, buddy, and I hope you've found the peace you truly deserve. Semper Fidelis, Staff Sergeant.

Every day, 22 veterans lose their battle to post-traumatic stress. Join us in making a difference in lowering that number for good. We're raising money to help Stop Soldier Suicide, and any donation will help create an impact. Thanks in advance for contributing to this cause, which means so much to us.

Stop Soldier Suicide is on a mission to drive veteran suicide rates down to civilian parity by 2030

Suicide can be difficult to talk about, but talking about it is the first step to ending it. With September being National Suicide Awareness Month, Nice News’ latest Cause of the Month beneficiary is Stop Soldier Suicide — the only national nonprofit focused solely on solving the issue of suicide among U.S. veterans and service members.

Military suicide has claimed more lives than most major conflicts — including World War I, the Vietnam War, and the Global War on Terror — and the veteran suicide rate is 72% higher than the U.S. average. Stop Soldier Suicide has set an aggressive goal to change things, aiming to reduce the military suicide rate by 40% no later than 2030.

The nonprofit has several programs that will help it achieve that goal, like ROGER, a wellness service that includes confidential and personalized virtual mental health counseling, crisis intervention, and safety planning. There’s also the Black Box Project, which analyzes trends by processing devices of those who have died by suicide, and a firearm safety program.

The results speak for themselves: Nearly half of Stop Soldier Suicide clients said that it helped prevent an attempt in their life in 2022.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to Stop Soldier Suicide. Click here to access the organization’s resources for veterans and active duty service members.
