Hundreds of motorcyclists gather in Northeast Wisconsin for a suicide prevention ride.  This is the seventh year for the event and all of the money raised goes to support the Crisis Center of Family Services Suicide Prevention Efforts.

Today's ride started at noon with stops in Abrams and Oconto with many who participated being touched by suicide themselves.

"There's a lot of unknowns and hush hush and nobody says anything but there are people that are needing help and an event like this brings awareness to it and brings awareness to it and maybe opens somebody's eyes to help prevent it," said Nikki Rogers who lost her daughter to suicide.

The ride wrapped up around 7:00 Sunday evening.
