31 For 31 For 31 Participants Share Their “Why”
We’ve been inspired this May with the participation in our 31 For 31 For 31 challenge. So many of you have shown your appreciation for past and present military members and their families by getting active to raise money and awareness for our mission, and we thank you!
While Mike Rouse is running 31 miles every day in May, the challenge encourages anyone to run, walk, bike or swim 31 miles (or 3.1 miles) individually or as a community. Of the 13 teams and 97 individual participants, we wanted to share a look at what inspired some of the participants to get involved:
