Starting in 2012 and for Running For Combat Veterans in March of 2018, I began running a series of Trail/Mountain Races to raise National awareness about Veteran Suicide, P.T.S.D. and Disabilities. In doing so, I hope to also to raise money for medical and mental health services for those who desperately need it but cannot get Veterans Affairs Coverage and Services. We aim to Reform the current Veterans Affairs Healthcare System for all Veterans.
In the time that is has taken to type this message 22+ Veterans have committed Suicide. Veterans die due to PTSD, medical and mental health related issues, and lack of financial and medical and mental health services. As a Combat Veteran who served in the US Army / Washington National Guard and also someone who has battled the Veterans Affairs System for nearly two decades, I have personally seen the devastation that untreated medical and mental health conditions cause, not only for the Veteran but for their families and friends as well. On both a personal and professional level I have witnessed that with treatment recovery is possible. We run to save lives. Let's help our Nation’s heroes get the support they need.
Together we can do so much more. Please donate today - no amount is too small. Donations used to:
-
Provide financial and mental health support for any combat veteran with a valid Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD214).

Reform the current Veterans Affairs Healthcare System for ALL Veterans Nationwide.
