PRE 9/11 VET IN SUPPORT OF POST 9/11 VETS

I RUN.  I RUN STRONG. I RUN SLOW.   

I'm running the 2022 NYC Marathon to raise money to support Team Hope For The Warriors which provides veteran athletes of all abilities the opportunity to engage the competitive spirit at endurance events with the assistance of prosthetics and other mobility improving tools.

I'm grateful for the 2 legs I have and I'm running to celebrate post 9/11 vets who served and who literally left parts of them behind in service of the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan.  I'm running to raise money to improve the rehabilitation of wounded service members and military families. 

I'm a veteran of the cold war (ARMY STRONG!) serving in the Republic of Korea in the 1980s when Ronald Reagan was president.  Though I'm an active member and supporter of The American Legion, this is my first veteran related-charity marathon so what better race to do it in than NYC which I was grateful to run in 2016.  To be clear, I Run Strong and I Run Slow but thankfully, crossing the finish line is what counts! 

We know politics, local concerns, food insecurity, mental health and homelessness impact every community.  Post 9/11 veterans are no different.  Transitions from service to civilian are aways tough.  Thus, every donation for Team Hope for the Warriors helps.  $100 will provide vehicle conversion adaptive driving equipment for a warrior in need.  Better yet, donating $500 will provide financial assistance and critical resources to a service member or military family who is facing homelessness during a service-related income gap. 

I appreciate your time, energy and support for all veterans and those who serve.  Please donate and I promise I'll finish the race and I won't run any slower than usual.
