I am a service disabled veteran, dedicating my hike to the thousands of Veterans, like myself and even non veterans dealing with depression. I have been dealing with this issue my self for a number of years. With the loss of my grandfather and my father to suicide. Then later also losing two of my service brothers to suicide. I know that people with severe depression, feel like it's the only way out, I have felt this way too many times. But what people that commit suicide don't realize is the devastation, it causes. I myself have been lucky enough to have sought out treatment. But not everyone can or will. I want to help those people, that are suffering in their own darkness. Please help me to help others find their peace, and be able to allow their loved ones to hold them one more day. less
