A week ago I registered to be a community athlete for the Wounded Warrior Project. And two days ago, I received an email confirming that my registration was accepted! For those of you who may not be familiar with the Wounded Warrior Project, it is an organization that was set up after the events of September 11th to provide support to the men and women in the armed forces as they transition from active duty service to a civilian life. The project helps those veterans with both physical wounds and PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). It has many services that also include helping veterans come together and support one another.As a community athlete I will be running and raising money until my half marathon on December 13th of this year. My goal is to raise $500. This organization is very important to me, especially since I have family members and friends who are veterans. I will provide a link to the Wounded Warrior Project website at the bottom of this post so that you can learn more. I will also provide a link to my donation site at the bottom as well. If you do donate, please know that any amount is appreciated and you will be making a difference in a veteran's life. Words may not be able to express just how thankful we are for their service and sacrifice, but showing our support will do justice where words cannot.
