PAT'S RUN

I finally signed up for PAT'S RUN! It's funny how some things are just meant to be, I was meant to run this race! No... really... I was, just listen! This is a fundraiser race in memory of Pat Tillman. The Pat Tillman Foundation gives back to military families and veterans. Pat had a passion for his family, football and his country. He was a star football player at ASU (Whoop Whoop). He went on to play in the NFL for the AZ Cardinals. Pat gave up his professional football career to join military as an Army Ranger. While deployed to Afghanistan, Pat Tillman was killed by friendly fire during a fire-fight. He died serving the country he loved so much. It is an awesome fundraiser for an awesome cause and I am proud to be a US Army Veteran myself. 

Why should I run this race?.. Because we are sooooo much alike its crazy!

Pat went to ASU (I sooo go to ASU.)

Pat joined the ARMY (Me too...)

Pat was stationed at Ft. Lewis, WA (I grew up just around the corner!)

Pat loved his country (Proud to me an American myself.)

Pat served in Afghanistan (OEF and OIF for me!)

Pat is a Silver Star recipient (OK, you got me, I only got a Bronze Star but still... bad-ass!)

Pat was an athlete (I like to believe I am!)

Pat was 27 years old when he passed away (I will turn 27 just before the race.)

Pat was pretty much awesome (OMG... ME TOO!)

So why am I telling you all this? I am telling you this in hopes that you will make a donation!!!!  That's right folks, remember your donation is going to veterans and their families. You can visit my PAT'S RUN donation page (HERE) and make a donation today! No pressure though.... :) 

Thanks,
