Suicide continues to be a struggle for active service members and veterans. This month, I will be participating in EquiCenter's Hoof-it For Heroes 2.2 mile challenge to raise awareness of this epidemic. My goal is to increase awareness and help support EquiCenter's veteran programming, including Mission Mustang, a national pilot program that utilizes the powerful connection between horses and humans to help veterans heal.
EquiCenter is a therapeutic equestrian facility that offers a variety of programs to help veterans find a sense of peace and purpose in a supportive environment. Programs include Mission Mustang and therapeutic horticulture and farming.
