About Foar from Home:
Foar From Home is Crossing an Ocean to Fight Veteran PTSD and Suicide
In December 2021, four Veterans will launch from the Canary Islands to row 3,000 nautical miles across the Atlantic Ocean to Antigua in effort to raise awareness for Veteran PTSD and Veteran Suicide. Paul Lore (United States Marine Corps), Cameron Hansen (United States Air Force), A.M. 'Hupp' Huppmann (United States Navy), and Billy Cimino (United States Army) have partnered together to take on The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge - the toughest journey of their lives.
The Challenge, dubbed "the world's toughest row," includes 30 teams from across the globe, all driven to complete the challenge to raise funds and awareness for charities of their choosing. But, the motivation for the Foar From Home team is one that hits close to home for each of them.
When leaving the military, veterans face serious challenges transitioning back to civilian life. Unfortunately, many veterans struggle with cognitive mental health issues such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), re-integration and identity issues, financial and/or housing problems among other difficulties. The Foar from Home team has partnered with the Cross the Line Foundation (501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization) in Nassau County, Florida to raise awareness and funds for “Now Veteran Need” programs like “K-9 for Warriors” and “Fire Watch*” that are operating in North Florida and are in need of funding. We are on a mission to raise awareness of the PTSD and veteran suicide issues plaguing our nation’s warriors with a stated goal of raising $500,000 for these programs.
