ABOUT US

Our mission is clear: prevent veteran suicide.

We’re not just about raising awareness; we tackle the issue head-on by addressing three crucial components:

  1. reducing stigma
  2. promoting holistic healing
  3. and building connections 

By shattering the shame and silence surrounding mental health in the veteran community, we empower individuals to seek help without fear of judgment.

Hear from others who have been in your shoes.

With every episode of 1 Mile 1 Veteran, we ask our audience to listen to inspirational stories from the veteran community, walk at least one mile during the show, and connect with another person so that when life gets hard, they have the support they need.

OUR STORY
After experiencing the devastating loss of loved ones and grappling with our family's own battles with PTSD and depression, we realized that simply talking about the issue of veteran suicide wasn't enough. It was time for us to take action and make a real difference in the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for our country.
SO, WE QUIT OUR JOBS AND SOLD OUR BELOVED HOME.
We then used our hard-earned savings to start 1 Mile 1 Veteran. Taking such a drastic step wasn't easy - there were doubts and fears along the way. However, the urgency of the situation pushed us forward. We knew that every day we delayed meant another life potentially lost.
WE ARE FIRMLY DEDICATED TO MAKING AN IMPACT.
Our journey has been challenging yet rewarding, filled with setbacks and triumphs. Every small victory fuels our determination further and reminds us why it's crucial not just to talk about problems but also to take decisive action.

Our Method

Listen

Inspirational stories provide a boost and fresh perspective when feeling discouraged or stuck.

Listening to these stories on our podcast exposes us to diverse experiences and perspectives, encouraging personal growth.

Inspirational storytelling uplifts spirits and reignites hope in times of need.

Walk

Walking releases feel-good hormones, boosts mood, enhances creativity, and innovative thinking.

Walking outside in nature reduces depression and rumination, and exposes you to the health benefits of Vitamin D from sunlight.

Join our virtual walking group on Strava to get started and find a supportive community.

Connect

Connecting with others provides opportunities for growth, support, and new perspectives.

It fosters a sense of belonging and empowerment, enabling individuals to thrive and overcome challenges together.

Meaningful connections enrich our lives and make the world brighter for everyone involved.
