Many people commit suicide under the impression that they no longer want to be a burden on those around them. What they do not realize is those who love them are left in a devastating condition grasping for reason and purpose to the loss. Man22SAR was forged out of that devastation. Rick Murillo, resolved to bring people together in their time of need to honor the lives of the lost, provide a support network for the survivors, and to reduce the numbers lost because even one a day is too many. Each Man22SAR involves a 2.22. mile run, 22 push-ups, and raises money for suicide awareness and prevention nonprofit organizations.

 

 

It is said that each of us dies twice: once when we physically die and once when we are forgotten. At Veteran and First Responders Sign Dedication, we aim to foster immortal memories. We do this through a three-part approach consisting of procuring a sign with a QR code to access the biography of the fallen, coordinating a placement site for the sign, then honoring the survivors of the fallen to a meaningful dinner and dedication ceremony. These dinners and dedications are customized to the wants and needs of the survivors for a personalized experience leaving the survivors feeling loved, supported, and knowing their loved ones will never fade away.
