First Mile
Every journey starts with the first step. The first moment of resolve. The first mile.
That mile is more than a measure from point A to point B. It symbolizes the bravery to face what’s ahead.
With each step, think about the courage it takes a warrior with a traumatic brain injury to get out of bed and rebuild his life. Think about the amputee who takes her first step on a prosthesis.
Think about the family navigating the effects of PTSD in their loved one.
It’s an on-going journey of recovery and resilience that lasts a lifetime, and Hope For The Warriors is there for every step.
In remembrance of our post 9/11 fallen Warriors memorial signs are placed along the First Mile at every run, helping to keep their memory alive. For information on how to submit a post 9/11 fallen service member to be included along the First Mile, please email runinfo@hopeforthewarriors.org
