A US RECONNAISSANCE MARINE will be leading the way on a challenging 200-mile trek across the state of Michigan. The primary objective is to raise awareness and support for veterans throughout the state, with a fundraising goal of $222.00 per mile. The funds raised will provide crucial assistance to veterans in crisis, including legal, mental, physical, and housing support. The journey will start on the morning of May 15th at The Boulevard Inn & Bistro in Saint Joseph, and will conclude on the morning of May 26th, Memorial Day, at 800 S Main St in Royal Oak, coinciding with Royal Oak's annual Memorial Day parade. Each day of the 12-day trek will cover approximately 15-20 miles, with checkpoints set up every 5 miles. The step off time will be @0600 every morning. Your participation, support, and donations are greatly appreciated in this inaugural event uniting communities across Michigan. Whether you are an individual, a business, or anyone in between, we invite you to join us in honoring and supporting our veterans.

“Never above you. Never below you. Always beside you.”
