Brief Description

Hello, Rob here. For my sophomore project, I organized a 5K race that benefitted wounded troops coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. The proceeds of the race went to the Boulder Crest Retreat for Wounded Warriors which provides non-clinical, therapeutic care to troops suffering physical and psychological wounds. It truly is innovative in that it fits a niche that currently isn't filled in the world of wounded veterans. Our 2nd Annual Brave American 5K will once again benefit this great cause!
