RISE is an organization with the purpose of getting individuals to come together to walk or run in a formation while shouting out Spiritual Cadences that are Inspiring, Motivational and Uplifting. This will promote a cheerful view of Life and Duty, which will work as a Suicide Prevention tool by installing the ability to manage Depression and PTSD. When people come together and lift each other up, their Souls will be filled with Hope and Joy. This shift people's life focus from self-doubt, anxiety, and shame to Seeking and Believing in the Grace of God to give them Confidence and a Faith-Filled Peace.
HISTORY
…as a company was returning from a long tedious march through swamps and rough country, a chant broke the stillness of the night. Upon investigation, it was found that a soldier by the name of Willie Duckworth, was chanting to build up the spirits of his comrades. It was not long before the infectious rhythm was spreading throughout the ranks. Foot weary soldiers started to pick up their step in cadence with the growing chorus of hearty male voices. Instead of a down trodden,
fatigued company, here marched 200 soldiers with heads up, a spring to their step, and smiles on their faces.

If the Holy Spirit is added to the cadence it serves an even higher purpose by not only feeling a spring in the step, a smile on the face, but the Grace of God shining throughout.
God has put the dream in my heart to start the day with a group of believers, veterans and civilians, coming together to uplift, motivate, and fill each other. I hope that this could take place in cities and towns across this great country.
