"These men and women gave so much for their country and deserve to be recognized for everything they have done. I'm looking to inspire people to get out, get active and get involved in giving back to this great country. All charitable donations as well as left over money from the running expenses will be given to the Wounded Warrior Project to help with their wonderful cause. The WWP aids soldiers in their road to recovery after traumatic injuries, physical or otherwise and I encourage you to check out their website.
