We had several generous donations/pledges this week. The support for this project has been wonderful. Below is a note from Bob about his journey:
It began on Memorial Day 2013 and
will continue until Memorial Day, 2014.
During that time I will be running several times a week and keeping
track of the miles that I run. At
the same time I am seeking pledges for my running either in the form of pennies per mile (1, 2, 3 etc.) for each
mile that I run, or a straight donation..
Barring injury, I hope to run between 1200 and 1500 miles during the
year- long project.
My reason for doing this is quite
simple. Right after 9/11, many
brave young Americans stood up and said they would do what they could to
prevent another devastating assault on our country. Many of them have paid a terrible price for doing so. The Wounded Warrior Project is doing a
wonderful job of meeting the complex needs of critically wounded soldiers and
preparing them to re-enter society as well-adjusted and productive
civilians. I, as a veteran,
applaud their efforts, and I feel
it is time for the rest of us to stand up in support of our brave warriors. We can do this by supporting the
Wounded Warrior Project.
As of Memorial Day 2014, I will
notify those who pledged, what they owe and ask them to make out a check to the
Wounded Warrior Project, and send it to me. I will collect the checks and forward them to the Wounded
Warrior Project in Washington D.C.
