I AM TOUGH RUCKING FOR AMERICA'S FALLEN MILITARY & FIRST RESPONDERS
This April, I will be joining Tough Ruck Nation to complete a marathon with a weighted rucksack (backpack). Tough Ruck 26.2 Boston is an elite group of 1000 who ruck to HONOR AMERICA'S FALLEN MILITARY & FIRST RESPONDERS. We humbly carry the names of the Fallen on our rucks as they will NEVER BEEN FORGOTTEN. We will also be raising critical funds for our Warriors. This is where we need your help! The basic ideal that drives our efforts is simple: as much as our Warriors have sacrificed, they and their families deserve the best care and support available in their hour of need. Your tax deductible donation literally provides a lifeline to a Warrior.
On April 15, 2013, Tough Ruckers were at the finish line of the Boston Marathon and joined the first responders to help those that were injured by the horrific blasts. They truly exemplify the best of what our Nation is. Today the Tough Ruck takes place the weekend before Boston Marathon Monday. Tough Ruck is the only ruck march partnered with the Boston Marathon and finishers are awarded the official Boston Marathon Medals and receive recognition from the Boston Athletic Association. Military Friends Foundation is the official charity of Tough Ruck Nation.
My personal message:
“A Tough Ruck for a Worthy Cause”
Every step on the path to healing matters. For veterans and first responders, the journey can be daunting, often weighed down by invisible burdens. But at Hold-Fast and Send Me Outdoors, we believe no one should walk that road alone.
This year, we’re teaming up to take on a challenge that represents resilience and sacrifice: the Tough Ruck Boston Marathon. We’ll be rucking the full 26.2 miles, carrying not just the weight of our packs but also the stories and memories of those we’ve lost. Each step is a testament to the lives we aim to save, showing our brothers and sisters in arms that there’s always hope and a community ready to stand with them.
By supporting this ruck, you’re helping us raise crucial funds for the families of the fallen and continue our mission: restoring love for life and preventing suicide among our nation’s heroes. Together, we can prove that no one is beyond help, and every life is worth fighting for.
Join us in making every mile count. Your support could be the difference that saves a life.
Donate today to keep hope alive.
With all my love,
Nichole knott
