Adventure sports for suicide prevention
Parachuting
with purpose
An estimated 22 veterans are lost to suicide each day. We do a BASE jump for each of them to fund the research and programming proven to reduce that number.

Why 22 Jumps
It started with Kiernan.
To people outside the family, Kiernan seemed to be doing well. His social media was full of travel and adventure, he earned two degrees, and always kept his charm. However, the people closest to him watched him slowly come undone. His story is one of tens of thousands.
Losing Kiernan is why we do this. We jump to change the story of veteran suicide, and we raise money for the people doing the hard work of testing for and treating TBI.
