Support Billy Richards' Recovery Journey

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

We are reaching out to ask for your support for someone who has dedicated his life to serving others—Billy Richards. Billy is a veteran, a master fitness trainer, and an extraordinary athlete. His life’s work has been centered around service, not only to his country but to his community, and now he needs our help.

Billy served honorably as a Marine Infantryman and an Army Paratrooper, deploying three times to protect our freedoms. He has also inspired countless people through his dedication to fitness, completing over 700 endurance events, including more than 100 marathons and ultra-marathons, all while carrying the American flag to honor our military and first responders. His feats of endurance are legendary—he became the fourth person in the world to run 100 miles 37 times in one year, all while carrying the American flag. Billy’s passion for giving back extends beyond the finish line; he has raised money for veterans by running ultramarathons, marathons, and even rucking with 45 pounds of canned goods for charity.

But now, Billy is facing his toughest challenge yet. After a recent hip replacement surgery, he is unable to walk and needs extensive rehabilitation. This surgery has not only impacted his ability to work but has also placed a significant financial burden on him. As a personal trainer, Billy’s livelihood depends on his ability to be active, and this setback has been devastating both physically and financially.

Billy has always been there to support others, whether through his military service, his dedication to fitness, or his charitable endeavors. Now, it’s our turn to support him. We are asking for donations to help cover his medical expenses, rehabilitation, and living costs while he recovers. Your generosity will allow Billy to focus on healing and getting back to what he does best—serving and inspiring others.

No amount is too small. Every dollar brings Billy one step closer to recovery. Let’s rally together to support this true American hero who has given so much of himself for others.

Thank you for your kindness and support.
