2026 Grandma's Marathon Race Weekend

Welcome to my fundraising page!

This will be my 3rd Gary Bjorklund half-marathon. Having missed the registration due to quick sell-out, I am using this fundraising avenue to secure a race entry. Please consider supporting this great cause and helping me run!

I’m proud to support Semper Fi & America’s Fund as a community athlete at Grandma's Marathon Team.

The Fund provides lifetime support to our Nation’s critically wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families—across all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. Rated A+ by CharityWatch, The Fund is recognized as one of the nation’s most trusted nonprofits.

Our work focuses on three mission pillars:

• Service Member & Family Support – immediate financial help and vital resources from the first moment of crisis.

• Transition – mentorship, unit reunions, apprenticeships, and tools for thriving beyond injury or illness.

• Integrative Wellness – holistic programs and innovative therapies to restore body, mind, and spirit. 

Every grant is delivered through a one-on-one relationship with a case manager who walks beside each family for as long as needed—Today. Tomorrow. Together. 

Since our founding, The Fund has provided more than $500 million in assistance to over 33,000 military families—changing lives and ensuring that our heroes are Never Alone. Never Forgotten. 

Thank you for supporting my efforts and this extraordinary mission!
