About

The Speedy Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to understanding mental illness, preventing suicide and fighting stigma through education, research, and advocacy. It was formed in 2011 in the loving memory of Idaho native Jeret “Speedy” Peterson, an Olympic freestyle aerials medalist whose life was characterized by his service to others. The Speedy Foundation raises money to support education and research to help prevent suicide and engages with advocacy groups such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to increase awareness of suicide prevention with the public.
