Special Operations Warrior Foundation

Operation: Ruck / Run is a campaign to fundraise based upon miles ran/rucked. 100% of the funds raised will be contributed towards the  Special Operations Warrior Foundation.

The end goal is to raise $30,000 and run/ruck 2020 miles by 1 JAN 2021.

I will be posting events throughout the year and I invite those who want to participate to join. If you can't join or contribute, please share so we can increase our chances to help the families of our fallen warriors.

Hey DataLink!   The company is donating to Special Operations to support Billy Carr and his fundraising efforts.   He is cutting his hair and beard off on Thursday 08/29/2019 and is hoping to raise money for  the Special Operations Warrior Foundation as it is a charity that means a lot to him.   If anyone would like to contribute, you can find more information below.  

Anyone who donates has the option of cutting a piece of Billy's hair & beard.  Play nice with the scissors!

I am a retired Sergeant Major and a disabled veteran from Special Forces. I will be walking the Appalachian Trail (2,190 miles) with my daughter starting on March 1st, 2018.  I will be raising funds for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (www.specialops.org). 100% of the donations will go to the foundation and will be used in the following manner:

1.  College scholarships for the surviving children of fallen Special Operations service members.
2.  Family & educational counseling, including in-home tutoring.
3.  Immediate $5,000.00 financial grants to severly combat wounded Special Operations service members.

I hope you will consider donating any amount for hiking the Appalachian Trail. I will be collecting donations from now through September 2018.  Your generosity will be greatly appreciated.

There will be photo’s posted on my site as well as on the Special Operations Warrior Foundation site throughout the hike.  

Thank you for your consideration and any donation would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me with any questions.

Capt John Tinsley was KIA on 12 Aug 09 in Afghanistan. He was serving on his first deployment as an Army Special Forces Detachment Commander. He is survived by his wife, and daughter, as well as his mother, father, and brother. 

Every August since 2010 we have been putting together a motorcycle ride called Tinsley's Trek  to honor John's memory and to live our lives to the fullest. Our MISSION each ride is to visit a National Cemetery to pay respects for those who have come before us.

This year will be our fourth year raising money for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) . I cannot think of a better organization to raise money for.  They provide so many things to our fallen hero's family during their time of need.  We ask that fund be donated by the end of August 2016.

John was a truly great man, your donation means so much to me and the rest of the Tinsley's Trek Family.

Sincerely,
Nikolaos P. Stathopoulos - Tinsley's Trek (Founder)
