American Legion Post 63 hosted its eighth annual Challenge 22 Walk to End Veteran Suicide Saturday, Nov. 2, in downtown Winter Garden. The event included opening ceremonies with guest speakers, a 2.2-mile walk and a post-walk gathering with music, food and a raffle.
This year’s theme is “Serve those who are still fighting.”
Former post commander Kurt Gies, founder and executive director of the local chapter of Challenge 22, announced he is leaving his job to focus on full-time ministry with the nonprofit organization.
Challenge 22 Inc. was founded with the mission to end veteran suicide and has expanded to include active duty, first responders and family members still fighting the effects of PTS and suicidal ideation. To make a donation, visit bit.ly/3UqtOYA or text c22 to 41444.
