For the past four years, I’ve been proud to serve on the We Ride So They Fly volunteer committee and as the New Hampshire State Secretary for the Patriot Guard Riders. Serving our veterans and honoring our fallen heroes has become a deeply personal mission for me. By day, I run a homeless shelter in Lowell that supports individuals living with mental illness, and in my spare time, I work part-time at VFW Post 8641 in Merrimack. Every day, I see the challenges many veterans face and the strength and resilience they continue to show. Participating in the 2025 Tough Ruck is my way of honoring those who have served, sacrificed, and inspired me. Thank you for sponsoring my opportunity to take part in this incredible event — your support helps me continue giving back to those who’ve given so much for all of us.

I AM TOUGH RUCKING FOR AMERICA'S FALLEN MILITARY & FIRST RESPONDERS

This April, I will be joining Tough Ruck Nation to complete a marathon with a weighted rucksack (backpack). Tough Ruck 26.2 Boston is an elite group of 1000 who ruck to HONOR AMERICA'S FALLEN MILITARY & FIRST RESPONDERS. We humbly carry the names of the Fallen on our rucks as they will NEVER BEEN FORGOTTEN. We will also be raising critical funds for our Warriors. This is where we need your help! The basic ideal that drives our efforts is simple: as much as our Warriors have sacrificed, they and their families deserve the best care and support available in their hour of need. Your tax deductible donation literally provides a lifeline to a Warrior.

On April 15, 2013, Tough Ruckers were at the finish line of the Boston Marathon and joined the first responders to help those that were injured by the horrific blasts. They truly exemplify the best of what our Nation is. Today the Tough Ruck takes place the weekend before Boston Marathon Monday. Tough Ruck is the only ruck march partnered with the Boston Marathon and finishers are awarded the official Boston Marathon Medals and receive recognition from the Boston Athletic Association. Military Friends Foundation is the official charity of Tough Ruck Nation.
