Spartan Race for our Heroes

As I prepare to run the Reebok Spartan Race in Cumberland, Ohio on October 4, 2014, I also set out to raise funds for a great organization, the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.

For me, the day is about pushing myself through all three levels of Spartan Races, which will equate to running a marathon in terms of distance, while completing around 40-50 obstacles. Though this alone will be a great feat, I wanted it to be about something more.

The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund was established in 2000 to assist the families of our fallen soldiers. Since that time, they have expanded their programming nationwide to include assistance for our injured men and women in uniform. These programs help to not only get families back on track, but also to ensure a better quality of life for our nation’s veterans.

With this in mind, I’ve set out to conquer both a physical and charitable goal. I will run a marathon of obstacles, all while raising funds to help our military members. My plan is to match you dollar for dollar in what you’re willing to donate. I challenge you, as I challenge myself, to help those who have sacrificed a great deal for our nation. Thank you for your support.
