About the Event
The 2.2 for 22 Challenge for Veterans raises awareness about veteran suicide and promotes hope, connection, and access to resources. The event recognizes the sobering reality that an estimated 22 veterans lose their lives to suicide each day while encouraging our community to stand together in support of those who have served.
Participants are encouraged to complete as many Challenge Stations as possible—or even all of them! Form a team with friends, family, coworkers, or fellow veterans, or participate individually. Every challenge completed helps spark conversations about mental health, resilience, and veteran support.
This year's event also features an exciting Obstacle Course Challenge designed to test participants' physical, mental, and teamwork skills while reinforcing the importance of perseverance and community.

FAQ
Q: What if I am unable to do a certain challenge, how do I move forward?
A: Participants who are unable to complete a certain challenge are encouraged to do the challenge in any manner that is adaptive to their ability. For example, if you cannot complete 22 military push ups, you can do modified push ups against a wall or wheelchair push ups. Adapting a challenge can be as creative as you would like. For instance, folks who do not have a bicycle can ride a stationary bike or substitute a cycle completely by going for a walk, skateboarding, roller blading, etc.
