Dear Friends and Supporters,

I hope this message finds you well. I am excited to share with you that I will be participating in the 2025 Chicago Marathon, and I have set a personal goal to raise over $3,500 for Team T.A.P.S.

T.A.P.S. (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) is an incredible organization that provides comfort and hope 24/7 through a national peer support network and connection to grief resources, all at no cost to surviving families and loved ones. Their dedication to helping those who have lost a loved one in the military is truly inspiring, and I am honored to support their mission.

By running this marathon, I aim to raise awareness and funds for the programs and services T.A.P.S. offers. These services include grief counseling, support groups, and various other resources that make a significant difference in the lives of survivors.

I kindly ask for your support in reaching my fundraising goal. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help make a difference and provide much-needed assistance to those who have lost a loved one in service to our country. Together, we can make a positive impact and ensure that T.A.P.S. can continue to offer their invaluable support to surviving families.

Thank you for your generosity and encouragement. I look forward to sharing my marathon journey with you and, more importantly, making a lasting difference for Team T.A.P.S.

Warmest regards,

Raymond
