Josh Plasse's 22-day campaign, known as the 'Ruckrun,' is a remarkable initiative aimed at supporting and raising awareness and funding to combat military suicide. Here are more details:
- The campaign involves Josh rucking (a military-style march) 22 miles each day while carrying a 22-pound rucksack for 22 consecutive days. This effort symbolizes the 22 veterans who, on average, commit suicide each day.
- The campaign will also include interviews with families who have tragically lost loved ones to suicide, aiming to shed light on the human impact of this issue.
- All funds raised through this initiative will be directed to Stop Soldier Suicide, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing military suicides.
- The run will commence in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 1st, coinciding with the start of National Suicide Awareness Prevention Month.
- The campaign's route includes stops in Boston, MA; Berryville, VA; Virginia Beach, VA; Raleigh, NC; Southport, NC; Melbourne, FL; and Atlanta, GA.
- Josh Plasse, with a background in network television and film production, has utilized his career and personal story to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry. This campaign represents a significant endeavor and an opportunity for his biggest success yet in raising awareness about military suicide prevention.
