Situation:22 veterans commit suicide every day, due to many factors such as PTSD, drug use, severe depression, and more. Most feel helpless and alone in whatever they may be going through.
Mission:
Conduct the Legionnaire March 22k to raise awareness for veteran suicide and to keep the fighting spirit alive in those veterans who are the most in need. The purpose of the Legionnaire March is to reach out to those who are struggling and remind them they are not alone, and are loved. This is not weather-dependent, and will be executed in any/all inclement weather, because demons don't wait for sunshine, and neither do we.
Execution:
We will be meeting at the Scene 75 parking lot just behind Citizens Bank. Look for the blue Jeep.
Meetup/Stretch: 8:00am
Step Off: 9:00am
Finish: ~2:00pm
***Important***
- This is not a timed race. All attendees are welcome to walk as little or as far as they would like. Please walk at your own pace/ability. There is no requirement to finish.
Packing List:
- Please bring a drinking source and water (Camelbak, etc.)
- If you have a US flag to carry, please bring it with you. If not, just being there is enough.
- Recommended to dress in layers, as this time of year is kind of chilly/wet.
The route will start at the Scene 75 parking lot, head East on 303 to S. Carpenter Rd, South to Laurel Rd, West to Substation Rd, then back North on to 303. This will loop twice.
