Motorcycle Ride to benefit suicide prevention

Jamestown  (CSi)  The motorcycle “Ride to Silence The Stigma,” will take place on Sunday July 19, 2020.  Registration at Stutsman Harley-Davidson at 11 am Kickstands up at 12:30.

Monte Rodacker says there will be a balloon release at about 12:15-p.m.

The ride route may be adjusted, however right now it goes from Stutsman Harley-Davidson in Jamestown to Sanborn with a stop at J&L, then on to Litchville stopping at the Rusty Spur, then to Marion stopping at T&J, and ending with a cookout at Yipsilanti.

He pointed out that the ride takes about four hours to complete with each stop taking about 45 minutes to allow for social distancing to stay safe.

Monte added that about 150 vehicles are expected to participate, with cars and trucks invited.

The donation is $20 for each person participating.

Proceeds from last year’s ride went to First Link, as volunteers staff the 1-800-273-TALK suicide crisis line for North Dakota and two counties in Minnesota.

Money raised through donations are contributed to prevention of suicide organizations, and to call awareness to suicides and suicide prevention.
