Moraine Park Technical College and Marian University host will host this 2.2 mile Ruck March/Walk and free lunch to raise awareness of the alarming veteran suicide rate and honor those who have lost their lives too soon. A backpack is not required to participate, but individuals are encouraged to carry a photo of a service member who died due to suicide. This event is free and open to the public, although donations are appreciated. Proceeds help fund this and future events and assist local veterans organizations so they may continue their mission of serving veterans and raising awareness of veteran suicide.

The walk begins and ends in the B-1 parking lot just off Campus Drive, Fond du Lac, WI, and will loop around the Fondy Soccer Complex adjacent to the MPTC campus.  Additionally, local mental providers and veteran support organizations will have information available.

A free lunch will follow the walk.

Note: Pre-registration is helpful, but tickets are not required. Click here to register online. On-site registration starts at 8:30 a.m., and the walk begins at 10:00 a.m. The event is pet-friendly, and we ask you kindly clean up after your pet.
