Rockville Strong: The Power from Within

Thanks for taking the time to check out my charity fundraising page. If you don’t know me, my name is Mike Patrizz.  I grew up in the town of Vernon and graduated in 2004. I currently work for the town as a Detective and a swat operator for the Capital Region Emergency Services Team (C.R.E.S.T.).

On 03/06/21 to 03/07/21, I will be running the 4x4x48 challenge. That’s 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours, or, 48 miles in 48 hours. Along the way, I will be joined on the various 4 mile runs by members of the community including police officers, military veterans, local coaches, teachers, past Rockville graduates, and members of the C.R.E.S.T. swat team.

The ultimate goal is to raise $4,800 for a scholarship which I started at Rockville High named Rockville Strong: The Power from Within. I started the scholarship to help out any graduating student who has shown physical and/or mental toughness while facing overwhelming odds. 2020 was a difficult year for all of us, especially, the students at Rockville High. I felt I should do something to help out those that persevered through the difficult times and overcame whatever challenges they faced. After talking to a past graduate, Andy Herzog, the idea for Rockville Strong: The Power from Within was created.

Please consider donating to this fund to help raise money to start the charity. If I am able to reach my goal it will help fund the scholarship for this and future years. If you are interested in sponsoring a 4 mile leg of the challenge or would like to join me on one of the runs please send me an email at [email redacted].

Thanks,

Mike Patrizz
