The 2012 ride is taking place on October 7th – registration coming soon!
Welcome to SPOKES!
On October 2nd, 2011 we held our 2nd annual SPOKES charity bike ride to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Our sponsors and participants raised over $43,000!
This event was founded by Tanya and Jeremy Brittain six months after Jeremy's sister attempted to commit suicide after a long battle with depression.
An avid cyclist, Jeremy wanted to participate in a charity bike ride to benefit the AFSP, but was unable to find one. With the support of family, friends and some very generous sponsors, SPOKES was born.
Our mission is to erase the stigma associated with suicide and mental illness. We hope that by sharing our story without shame, we will help others do the same.
