Sharing tales of those we’ve lost
is how we keep from really losing them.

OPERATION SERVICE DOG
“Honor the legacy of our fallen by changing the life of our wounded.”
We wish that we could say our work supporting our military community is over, but more has to be done. Our fund is built on individuals who generously give what they can. Donations of $10, $15 and $25 dollars add up quickly and make a difference! We know your time is valuable, and we so appreciate you taking the time to run the Grid which honors both our son’s legacy and the legacy of each of the four fallen servicemen or women that will be on your bib on race day. It is with this in mind that we ask all of our runners to consider going just a few steps further in support of Operation Service Dog. If you could request just four friends to donate $25 for one of the four fallen warriors you will carry with you through the race course, the effect on our military and veteran community would be immeasurable! We would be able to sponsor numerous service dogs and change the lives of returning veterans in need. You would not only be honoring the fallen but also taking care of our wounded. Will you go the extra mile?
