Thank you to all who have sponsored a backpack for our Veterans for our “Carry the Load” campaign. This will be an annual fundraiser with a plan to gift every Veteran on Trail to Zero a backpack filled with mental health resources, activities, and BraveHearts’ branded items. We asked the Veterans to share the name of a horse that’s had the biggest impact on their life to put on the front of their pack, and for most, this was a difficult choice to narrow down to one horse. 🇺🇸

U.S. Air Force Veteran, Ellie, was gifted her pack during the NYC Trail to Zero this past week. Ellie shared, “It was not easy to choose, every horse in the herd has something unique and valuable to teach me. I decided upon Moses as my heart horse because he has taught me the most about being present and intentional. He has helped me grow in trust and confidence. Together we have made great progress and he came into my life at just the right time for the lessons I needed. He gives the best hugs and I feel especially connected to him. The relationship Moses and I share has made an unforgettable imprint on my heart.” ❤️

In 2023, Chad, U.S. Navy Veteran, was watching the early morning news and happened to see our then Trail to Zero segment on Fox & Friends. Prior to this, Chad wasn’t aware of BraveHearts, but was currently participating at another PATH Intl. Center in TX when he saw the broadcast. Knowing his own positive experience with horses, Chad reached out to us inquiring about how he could get further involved with BraveHearts and expand the Trail to Zero mission. Fast forward to last Saturday, Chad was one of the Veterans who was at Fox Plaza prior to the step off on our NYC ride. 🇺🇸

We are grateful for Chads service, his commitment to the mission, his vulnerability and growth, and his selfless actions to try and share his story for others. ❤️

Take part in the conversation and share the mission of Thousands of materials have been handed out on the streets of NYC - amplifying the conversation that 20 Veterans lost daily to su***de is 20 too many. ❤️

“I come from a military family and have friends who served, but I’ve never heard this statistic [20 lives lost to su***de each day]. I typically don’t take this route, but when I heard the sounds of the horses walking, I had to see what was going on… and I’m so glad I did. You all are doing incredible work and it has made me stop and think of what more I can do. I’ll be sharing your card and your posts! Thank you for all you do!” -NYC resident
