Motorcyclists are gearing up for a big ride this weekend all for a good cause. It's the 10th Annual Suicide Prevention Ride.

It all starts at Terry's Wall Street Pub. From there, riders head to Denmark, then Greenleaf, and finish the ride at Plank Road Pub and Grill in De Pere where there will be raffles and live music.

Many riders have their own reasons for taking part. Some have experienced depression and anxiety or have been impacted by suicide.

"It's overwhelming. I just get goosebumps because just seeing all the people there to support. It's awesome,” said Jeanne Parrett, who founded the ride.

Parrett said they're able to not just raise awareness but also support the Family Services Crisis Center.
