Billy Petersen, the founder of Livastride, started the foundation to honor his late brother, Brody Johnson. Billy's brother Brody committed suicide two years ago and Billy's family saw first hand the effects of depression and how it not only effects the individual, but also their families.

The concept behind Livastride is simple. Keeping someone active with friends and family helps them focus on other things other than their depress.
