The Ruck Raiser
Donation protected
On January 28th, 2020, CPL Jacob Novitski, after 4 years of honorable service in the Marine Corps, took his own life. He was 24 years old.
Later the same year, Jake's father Mike was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer.
On the anniversary of Jake's death we will be Rucking for 22 hours straight to honor and remember him and all veterans and to raise money for Jake's father's medical bills. Five military service members are doing this symbolically; If you're strong enough to carry the burden for someone else, do it.
We are taking $ per mile pledges in advance of the event. We also welcome flat dollar amount donations!
Please give what you can. 100% of donations will be given to operation R&R which helps provide a much deserved vacation for veterans, and also given directly to the novitskiy family for medical bills.
