Caring for the families of America's Fallen Heroes one mile at a time.
Hiya Friends & Family,
Thank you for stopping by my fundraising page.
On Sunday, November 5, 2023 I will be running the NYC Marathon for the 3rd time. Aside from being 8 years older (eek!), the biggest change is that my Dad will not be at the finish line like he has in the past, but he will be in my heart every step of the way (all 26.2 miles!).
In his memory, I will be fundraising $2,620 to support The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors. TAPS offers compassionate care to all those grieving a military loss. TAPS provides comfort and hope through a national peer support network and connection to grief resources, 24/7, at no cost to surviving families and loved ones.
My Dad was a member of the 173rd Airborne Brigade-the first soldiers on the ground in The Vietnam War. Displaying a symbol of pride, he wore his Vietnam War hat each day and was honored to strike up conversations with veterans and active duty members. Leading by example, he always took the time to thank them for their service to America.
THANK YOU for your donation towards my fundraising efforts in support of TAPS, in honor of Veterans & Active Duty Military and in memory of my Amazing Dad, "Captain Chic".
With Love & Gratitude,
Michele
