44 Hours for the 22

On July 24th- July 26 I plan to work out for 44hrs, focusing on physically and mentally challenging movements. There will be a mixture of weight training, cardio, functional fitness, and endurance focused movements throughout the 44hrs. I am doing so with the hopes of bringing attention to, and raising funds for Mission 22. A nonprofit aimed at ending veteran suicide. 

I have a fundraising goal of $44k. I'm motivated to do this because I want to help provide support for veterans and their families. As a Veteran, I understand the mental and emotional challenge that impact service members and their families during and beyond years of service. These men and women put their lives on the line to provide for their country. My hope, with this workout, is to push myself through the day and night, through the darkness, and highlight the importance of constantly finding a way to move forward in life, facing every challenge, recognizing the difficulties, and finding a way to continue on.

All proceeds go directly to Mission 22

At Mission 22, our commitment could not be more personal. Mission 22 was founded by Veterans. Most of our staff are Veterans, spouses of Veterans, or have immediate family members who have served in the US military. We provide extensive, personalized support and resources to help Veterans and their families thrive. Mission 22’s programs for Veterans and military spouses. Mission 22 recognizes that a Veteran’s experience is a family’s experience – families live through all of the ups and downs that soldiers returning home do. We’ve developed a support program exclusively for spouses to take positive steps that renew their identities as individuals and the strengths they bring to their household.
