Fundraising Tip:
Share this story with your supporters:
Sgt. 1st Class Victor Medina joined the US Army in 1994 and served until 2012. He deployed three times—once to Afghanistan and twice to Iraq.
His biggest challenges today are cognitive. Victor lives with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), which he obtained when his vehicle was impacted by an IED while on patrol in Iraq. He endures day-to-day challenges that most people wouldn’t think twice about in their daily lives.
Congratulations to the Team Hope For The Warriors Members who participated in the United Airlines Half Marathon!
We had participants from all over the country and even a few who traveled internationally to run with the team and support our nation’s heroes with an incredible fundraising effort!
Team EVA: Every Veteran Appreciated
From April 2-8, 2016, Eva Casale, will be running 7 marathons in 7 days to raise funds and awareness for Hope For The Warriors! She will complete 184 miles, running in honor of a different service member for each mile. Eva is starting and finishing each marathon at different Suffolk Federal Credit Union locations.
How you can get involved?
Donate: Support the military community and Eva’s incredible efforts!
Register to Run with Eva: You do not have to participate in all 7 of her 26.2-mile runs, but you can pick a day to join her for the last 7 miles of her run. All runs take place in Suffolk County, Long Island.
Hope For The Warriors is inspired by Eva’s dedication to support military families and we would love to see the community encourage and support her as she takes on this impressive challenge!
