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.
For the 3rd year in a row I will be running the Boston Tough Ruck. I am asking for as much help as I can get this year as we have doubled our fundraising goal to $950. The goal is for the event to raise $1,000,000 for familys of first reaponders and veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice. I run this race for everyone lost and injured in the Boston Marathon bombings, for Sean Collier, who gave his life serving his community. For my Texas DPS brothers who laid down their lives protecting the great state of Texas. I know its a lot to ask but anything helps…please help me reach my goal, thats the hard part. I will make sure to handle being ready for 26.2 miles of hard work for a great cause!
