By Matthew A. Garcia 3 weeks ago

SUAMICO, Wis. (WBAY) – The annual suicide prevention motorcycle ride hosted it’s 12th cruise today to raise money for the Family Services’ Crisis Center. The organization in Northeast Wisconsin provides suicide prevention programs and 24/7 on-call professional counselors for those in need.

“I lost a lot of people in my life,” Jeanne Parrett, founder of the Suicide Prevention Ride, shared. The reason she started this ride over a decade ago and hosts it every summer is “to let people know that anxiety and depression is a disease, and that there are people out there to help you.”

The annual suicide prevention ride took off from Shoots Bar in Suamico. The motorcycle riders made some noise on the streets of Oconto Falls, Little Suamico, and Green Bay for those who may feel like they can’t talk about suicide.

Alisa Clickenger, the event producer for the ride, said she put the event together because she likes to promote positive images of motorcycling and creating get-togethers for female motorcyclists.
