“It’s amazing that you can look past some of the obvious signs that someone is suffering from such a high level of depression which brings them to that stage,” Schaefer said. “There’s just not enough help out there for kids with depression."

“In our opinion, there’s just not enough options, so we’re just trying to help change the game a little bit,” he added.

The cruise started at Northern Tool and Equipment in Arnold Missouri, went to Shady Jack’s Saloon to make a stop for some food, made its way to Route 3 towards Alton, went up the River Road stopping at the Piasa Park and ended at The Loading Dock in Grafton for an auction.
