I’m taking on the Tough Ruck 26.2 to honor fallen service members and first responders. This race holds a deep significance for me. In 2019, I participated in Tough Ruck during one of the darkest periods of my life. I was grappling with substance abuse, the weight of PTSD and mental health challenges, marital separation, suicidal ideations, and the physical injuries following an attempt (vehicular),
Completing this race became a turning point in my recovery, helping me reconnect with resilience and giving me the drive to continue. I am grateful for the strength and purpose it helped me reclaim - allowing me to transform my struggles into a source of hope for others facing similar battles.
This year, I’m returning to Tough Ruck not only to honor our fallen heroes but to raise awareness about the struggles many service members and first responders face, both in and out of uniform. I’m asking for your support in providing assistance to the families of those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice. Your donation, in any amount, goes directly to these families and shows them that their loved ones’ sacrifices are not forgotten.
Thank you for standing with me in this journey, for honoring our heroes, and for joining me in the mission to bring hope to those who need it most.
