I know that I said this last year but this truly is my last year running the RUCK4HIT. This Ruck run has been mentally and physically challenging but has also lead to many great experiences. Our team has morphed over the past 10 years (yes that is how long I have been running this race), but through it all I have made greats friend that I call my dysfunctional family. We stand united together for a common purpose, we run for those who can't. Our service men/ women and their families have sacrificed so much. The RUCK sack that we carry is a symbol of the unseen weight that service members carry day after day. This organization gives back to the people that have defended this great nation and our freedoms day after day. For them I RUCK... This year I am honoring Ret. Marine Danny Donovan, he continues to inspire so many people in life and spiritually. Thank you for your service.
