September is National Su***de Awareness & Prevention Month.
Check on your people. Have the uncomfortable conversations. Know the resources. Sometimes one call, one text, or one person showing up can make all the difference.
You are not alone.
If you or someone you know needs immediate support, call or text 988.

Rest in Peace NYPD Police Officer and Manhasset Lakeville Firefighter Erasmo T***a.

Erasmo proudly served as a Police Officer with the New York City Police Department, while also serving his community as a firefighter with Manhasset Lakeville Fire Department Company 2.

While I didn’t know Erasmo personally, this one hits a little closer to home, having once been a member of the Manhasset Lakeville Fire Department myself.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, both blood and blue.

Another reminder that you never truly know what someone may be going through.

Check in on those around you. Your partners, coworkers, friends and family. Even the ones who always seem strong.

If you or someone you know may be struggling, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You don’t have to carry it alone.

Rest in peace brother.

Honored to have our Montauk to Manhattan run featured by Patch.

This run was never about the mileage. It was about bringing attention to veteran and first responder mental health and reminding people that no one has to struggle alone.

Every donation, every person who joined along the route, every volunteer, every sponsor, and every message of encouragement helped make this possible. Thank you for believing in Project Patriot 22 and the mission we share.

If this story encourages even one person to check in on someone, start a conversation, or ask for help, then every mile was worth it.
