Hi everyone! My name is Blake Robison, and I’m raising money as a part of my Business Management course at SNU.

Wounded Warrior Project

The mission of Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) is to honor and empower Wounded Warriors. Our vision is to foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation's history.

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity, ANYTHING HELPS!

Training for a marathon is hard. It hurts. It drains you. It demands discipline when you would rather quit. But none of that compares to what many wounded veterans live with every day after their service ends. Their injuries do not heal on a schedule. Their financial stress does not disappear. The fight to rebuild a normal life does not stop when the uniform comes off. Until this marathon is over, I am not cutting my hair or shaving my beard. It is a small and visible reminder of something most of us never have to think about. Basic dignity. A haircut. A clean shave. Things that many veterans, even after sacrificing everything, cannot easily afford. Our veterans give us our freedom. Freedom to live our lives. Freedom to speak our minds. Freedom to push our personal beliefs and agendas without fear. Those freedoms exist because others were willing to bleed, suffer, and carry the weight long after the rest of us moved on.

This run is not about me. It is about standing in discomfort out of respect for people who lived in far worse. Every mile I run and every dollar raised goes toward helping veterans recover, rebuild, and survive in the country they already gave everything for.

Hi, I'm Shorts MaGee, a YouTube Creator based in Raleigh, NC. I have started an initiative called “Mike’s Miles”. The goal of this initiative is to raise money for different causes. I am doing this by walking to different cities. I’m starting out in North Carolina and hope to walk from Raleigh, NC to California. The first city I’m walking to is Durham, NC on January 21, 2026. I’m supporting Veterans and I’m raising funds to support the Wounded Warrior Project, an incredible organization dedicated to honoring and empowering our nation's wounded service members. Their mission resonates deeply with me, as they strive to foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of Wounded Warriors in our history.

Your generous donations will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. With your support, we can help the Wounded Warrior Project continue their vital work:

Join me in this collective effort to uplift our heroes. Every dollar counts, and together we can make a profound impact. Thank you for your support!

Hi, I’m Debbie Broussard Kennedy, and I’m reaching out to you to support the incredible work of the Wounded Warrior Project.

Every dollar counts and makes a significant impact. Join me in supporting our heroes by donating today. Together, we can make a difference!

We’re raising funds for the Wounded Warrior Project because too many of our nation’s heroes return home with life-changing injuries — physically, emotionally, and mentally — and they deserve a community that refuses to let them fight alone.

For us in the Auburn Family, this mission is personal. Between us, five of our own family members have served. We’ve seen the long nights, the strain on families, the injuries, and the invisible battles many veterans face long after the uniform comes off. Supporting wounded warriors isn’t just a cause for us — it’s something that hits home.

Since 9/11, more than 52,000 servicemembers have been physically wounded, and countless others continue battling PTSD, depression, and emotional trauma. The Wounded Warrior Project provides hope, counseling, job training, adaptive equipment, and long-term support that truly changes lives.

Your impact:

$25 → a counseling session for a veteran fighting emotional battles

$50 → peer mentorship and reintegration support

$100 → adaptive equipment or job training materials

Every dollar goes directly to the Wounded Warrior Project — no cuts, no middlemen.

We’re Auburn students setting a simple but meaningful goal: $500 in 7 days. It may seem small, but one hour of counseling or one piece of adaptive equipment can change a veteran’s life in a real way.

If you can’t donate, even sharing this page helps more than you know.

Together, as the Auburn Family, we heal, we honor their service, and we help our wounded warriors rise, rebuild, and thrive.

Thank you — and War Eagle.

Arnold Air Society’s Spencer Brian LaBrie Squadron at TTU is proud to host this fundraiser in support of the Wounded Warrior Project. Thank you for helping us honor and uplift those who’ve served.

On June 6th 2026 I’m dedicating this race to the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that supports wounded and recovering veterans through mental health care, brain injury treatment, career and financial support, and community programs all at no cost to them. They help veterans rebuild their lives, reconnect with purpose, and find strength during their toughest battles.

I’m documenting every step of this journey the training, the grind, the ups and downs and I’m donating 100% of all funds raised directly to the Wounded Warrior Project once I cross that finish line.

This race is more than miles.

It’s my way of giving back to the warriors who are still fighting theirs.

Thank you for supporting the mission.

Wounded Warrior Project®

Hi everyone! We are a group of UNT Civic Engagement students raising awareness to help the Wounded Warrior Project®. This is a cause that each of us is connected to, either as a veteran or through family members of veterans.

Wounded Warrior Project® is a national nonprofit that serves post 9-11 veterans and service members living with physical injuries, invisible wounds like PTSD, and other combat-related challenges. The organization provides mental health counseling, career development, peer support, and adaptive sports programs that help warriors rebuild their lives and connect with the community.

Our vision is to deliver support to post 9-11 veterans to alleviate mental, physical, and economic challenges upon returning from active duty, through awareness and meaningful contributions from compassionate donors. Our goal isn't measured in dollars, it's measured in impact. While raising funds is part of this campaign, what matters most is reaching the people who need help the most. If this effort touches even one veteran who feels unseen, reminds one family they are not alone, or inspires one person to seek help, then we’ve already succeeded.

The transition after service isn’t always the joyful return people imagine. For many veterans, it's the start of a new kind of battle. The noise fades, the uniforms get stored away, but the memories don't. Some wake up from nightmares they can't shake, while others face daily chronic pain that won't go away. Finding work, reconnecting with family and friends, or even feeling like they belong can be harder than anything faced while in service. According to the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs (2023), about 17 veterans die by suicide every single day. The Wounded Warrior Project® (2024) reports that 63% of veterans reported symptoms of one or more mental health conditions, and 76% experience chronic pain that limits daily life. These numbers aren't just statistics, they represent Mothers, Fathers, Daughters, Sons, and friends who deserve better support after service. A person who wore the uniform and came home carrying more than just memories. Many of us know a veteran personally, and we’ve seen the quiet struggles that don't get talked about, the sleepless nights, the feeling of being left behind in a world that has moved on.

This campaign is our way of saying we see you. It is a reminder to every veteran that their sacrifices still matter and that they are not forgotten. Every donation, no matter how small, is a message of gratitude and hope. According to the Wounded Warrior Project® (2025), they have had the opportunity to help and represent over 185,000 warriors as of March 2023.

By contributing to this campaign, you're doing more than making a donation, you're extending a hand to someone who once risked everything for others. You're helping veterans rediscover purpose after the uniform comes off, offering the chance to heal wounds that aren't always visible. If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity, it means the world to us.
