Dear Friends and Family,

In just under a month, I will be running the 2024 Chicago Marathon and will be running in honor of all of our fallen heroes and fundraising in support of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). TAPS provides direct support to families who have been impacted by a death in the military regardless of geography or circumstance. As many of you know our family was blessed to receive support from the Indy Metropolitan Military Honor Guard after the loss of our nephew. I will be honoring all fallen heroes, but especially the following:

-Private First Class Bradford R. Bego

-SSG Brian Miller, Indiana National Guard

-SRA Lawrence Manlapit

The funds I raise will flow directly into TAPS programming which supports these families through an amazing network of resources, seminars and publications. TAPS provides these services at no charge to survivors from all branches of the service, including Reserves and National Guard. TAPS’ programs and services are available not only for immediate family, but also for extended family and friends. Please help me honor our fallen heroes by supporting me in this effort.

*I would also be honored to add your fallen hero to my list. A full marathon is 26.2 miles, for a donation of $25 or more I will add the name of your loved one to the mile of your choice and dedicate that mile directly to them. I will wear all these names with pride on the day of the marathon. Follow the link below and in the recognition name line indicate the fallen heroes name and the mile number you would like.*

 No donation is too big or too small.  

Thank you!
