    About

    Who Gives a Ruck? about Veteran Suicide is a 5K ruck march hosted by the Rockford Vet Center to bring awareness to Veteran suicide and the services provided by the Vet Center. Participants are encouraged to carry a 20 lb. backpack/ruck (NOT PROVIDED) to symbolize the roughly 20 Veterans who succumb to suicide every day.

    All proceeds will benefit local organizations/agencies that serve the Veterans throughout our community in various ways.
