Transitions aren't always easy, and we want to smooth the path for veterans to step into their next journey with confidence, security, and pride.
This year, my dad, Don Young and I will be raising funds and bringing awareness to veterans aid in the Chicagoland area with SALUTE INC while training for the Chicago Marathon on October 13, 2019.
With over 20 years in the Navy, and after completing marathons in Paris, Dublin, Amsterdam and New York City, Don has used running as a way to continually generate positive motivation to reach both your mental and physical goals.
Running is something that my dad passed down to me at a very young age. I can vividly remember running my first 5K at 7 years old while living in Memphis, to running high school cross country, to now signing up for my very first marathon here in Chicago.
When my dad retired as a Naval Officer, our family went through lots of exciting but scary changes. Moving to a new state, starting a new job, and learning the structure of civilian life after decades of service was a new adventure for our family. We want to ensure everyone's transition out of the military is as successful as our family's story.
Join us in supporting real change in Chicago and nationwide! Let's support good in the world and make a difference. Help us provide a financial safety net for injured veterans and their families for SALUTE INC.
Any donation will go a long way in helping the veterans of our Armed Forces successfully transition into their next journey. We appreciate your support towards goal on this adventure to the 2019 Chicago Bank of America Marathon.
Thank you for being a part of our journey!
