Hello All! And just writing today about an event I will be participating in and wanted to invite everyone to come and join me at Brooklyn's Run For The Fallen on August 20th. It will be held in Brooklyn at the Fort Hamilton Park, 400 101 Street. Registration will begin at 7am and the run will start at 9am.
Besides the event info, I wanted to just take the time to mention a little background of how this organization came about. It was created by a college student who lost his best friend, 1st Lt. Micheal J. Cleary - just that fact alone is quite moving as in life there are may things that are meaningful; friendships in my opinion are one. It began on June 14th, 2008 when a small team ran across the US dedicating each mile to each service member that has fallen. There is a film being made and the release date will be later this year. In the meantime, August 20/21st marks the anniversary of the first run that took place in 2008; it is also the date when runs will be taking place all across the US to honor the fallen service members. I invite you to look up information in your particular states and join in. Below is the link for more info...
