As a Veteran who spent over 10 years overseas in support of The Global War on Terror, I realize how lucky I am to have a support system that has enabled me to reintegrate back into the civillian world. There are many Veterans who do not have that support system and are in need. Service doesn't stop when the uniform comes off, so this year I have dedicated myself to participating in The 50 Mile March. In August we will march from Lincoln back to Omaha in 22 hours to help raise awareness, and support for those Veterans that are affected by PTSD and homelessness.
The 50 Mile March organization seeks to raise funds in form of grants for local non-profit organizations that directly help our Veterans battle PTSD and homelessness. Each walker has a fundraising commitment. Every walker has been recruited, vetted, and selected to represent what the foundation stands for. We also collaborate with local businesses utilizing sponsorships and other fundraising efforts. Funds raised will go towards local non-profits and towards Community of Hope.
