| I am excited to be participating in the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) this year on October 29th. I am running with Team Azalea Charities as part of their ‘2011 Run for Wounded Warriors’ campaign to raise money and awareness for U.S. service personnel wounded from service..
Azalea Charities, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to aid wounded service personnel by providing comfort items and other special assistance to soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines sick, injured or wounded from service in Iraq and Afghanistan. The charity is 100% run by volunteers and covers its operating expenses by generous contributions from board members. Depending on needs specifically identified by wounded servicemen and their families, the charity purchases items distributed each week at military medical centers, Veteran Administration medical centers and Fisher House rehabilitation facilities across the globe. Many of the servicemen and women are grievously wounded and require long hospitalization and rehabilitation, so the purpose of the program is to lift their spirits and enhance their morale by providing various types of assistance unable to be met by other institutions or the government.
For more information about the charity, please go to their web sites at www.azaleacharities.org. |
