Sunday's 8 28 16 run was for Stop 22
#virtualstrides #K9sforwarriors
STOP 22
22 veterans will commit suicide today. PTSD is an epidemic affecting our nation’s warriors, and 22 American heroes choosing to end their lives every day is unacceptable. I ran to support the STOP 22 movement.

The Charity
K9s for Warriors is dedicated to providing service canines to veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disability, traumatic brain injury, and/or military sexual trauma as a result of military service post-9/11. This charity’s goal is to empower these warriors to return to civilian life with dignity and independence. 95% of the dogs used in the K9s for Warriors program are rescue/shelter dogs, and to date, K9s for Warriors has graduated 165 Warrior-Canine teams.
A portion of the proceeds from this event (at least $5 from each registration) will be donated to K9s for Warriors. To learn more about this organization or to make a direct contribution, please visit
