Marine Corps Marathon for Wounded Warriors Family Support

I am running the Marine Corps Marathon on October 26th on behalf of Wounded Warriors Family Support. I am part of a team of student veterans, alumni, and friends at Columbia University who care about raising money and support for the families of fallen heroes.   Wounded Warriors Family Support is a non-profit who gives a variety of aid to the families of service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice to their country as well to service members who have been injured in combat. You can find the link to their website below for more information:  http://www.woundedwarriorsfamilysupport.org So how can you help? While I don't have a personal goal for donations I hope to raise, Team Columbia is aiming to raise $20,000  collectively and I plan to do my part in that goal. I am hoping to pr this race at 3 hrs 50 min or less.  As, I don't have a goal for donations, I just ask that you give as much as you can. If you have always wanted to donate in a honor of a battle buddy that was killed in action, maybe here is your chance to do so.If you can't provide financial help, I am sure there are awesome volunteer opportunities with WWFS that you can participate in and provide aid in that way.                                                                                      I appreciate all of your support and generosity in advance. I will be donating and running in honor of Forrest Ewens who was my squad leader at Gonzaga and was fundamental in teaching me how to lead a platoon. He was also a stellar runner and I often think of him for motivation when a run gets tough. I am sure Forrest will be on my mind at mile 23- Always loved and not forgotten!
