KELLNERSVILLE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A group of truckers drove in a convoy Saturday for suicide awareness.
The group drove from Kellnersville in Manitowoc County, down I-43 to Oostburg and back.
The trucks carried flags in honor of Nicole Warner, who died in 2019 of suicide.
“Suicide is a public health pandemic in this country,” said Julie Preder, Mental Health America Sheboygan Executive Director. “With the pandemic, mental health has been thrust into the spotlight. We don’t talk enough about mental health.”
Organizers say over 80 semi trucks and over 30 other vehicles participated.
