This October, we will be participating in the Annual Marine Corps Marathon Events 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.

Every year we commit to lacing up our shoes, letting our feet brace the pavement, and forcing our muscles to put in the work as we pay tribute to the men and women in uniform protecting this great nation.

We run to honor our fallen heroes. We run to remember the sacrifice experienced by men, women, and children all over our country. We run because it’s hard. The physical act of running is our way of paying homage to the blessing, privilege, and opportunity afforded to us as citizens living in The United States of America.

The funds we 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.  No donation is too big or too small. 

We look forward to running with you in support of our fallen heroes.
