We’re thrilled to be coming back again to Heritage Park in Canton running/walking for 22 hours. We do this for 22 hours to represent the 20-22 veterans per day who commit suicide in the U.S. There are multiple options to participate for those who are and aren’t interested in the entire 22 hours. This is a walker friendly event, with all participants joining at their desired time, pace, and duration.
For 2024, we will be dividing at least 80% of our proceeds to these organizations: Michigan Freedom Center, Guitars for Vets, and Victory Gym. In 2023, Steve raised over $5,000 with 80% of the proceeds split between Guitars for Vets and Victory Gym. In 2022, Steve raised over $3,000 with more than 90% of the donations received directed to Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.
