September #BeThere Ruck Challenge

September is a month dedicated to suicide prevention. There are staggering numbers of veterans dealing with PTSD that are in need of mental health support. In the current environment of isolation, it's difficult to be there for those around us suffering from suicidal thoughts. I'm hoping to draw awareness to this issue as well as raise funds to support Team Red, White & Blue, and any donation will help make an impact.

Starting with 3 miles on September 1st, I will be rucking an additional 1/2 mile each day with a 25# vest & 25# pack, finishing with 17.5 miles on September 30th totaling 310.5 miles. I'll also be rucking 11 miles on 9/11 for our civilian service members. The weight I'll be carrying signifies the full gear our servicemen and women wear as well as the emotional weight they may carry on their shoulders that as a citizen I cannot begin to imagine. Know that no donation is too small. If you can't donate yourself, please consider using the hashtag #bethere and @teamrwb. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
