Operation Valor and The Fallen Heroes Memorial Run

Good Afternoon Members of Makerspace.
@talkers Said I should post about the (501c3 Pending) Non-Profit I’m a Director of called Operation Valor
We put on an annual event weekend called The Fallen Heroes Memorial Run that is coming up this weekend (Oct. 27-29).

The FHMR was created in the memory of Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield and aims to:
· Honor and pay tribute to the two slain heroes
· Raise awareness for veteran’s issues, including PTSD
· Donate proceeds to fully vetted 501c3 veteran’s charities each year.

Our goal in raising money is to distribute all revenue evenly to the 3 selected non-profit Veteran Charities that specialize in helping mentally and physically injured vets (Operation Enduring Warrior and Combat Wounded Coalition) and vets returning home and needing assistance to transition here in Texas (The F7 Group). Last year we raised nearly $44k that was evenly divided between the beneficiaries.

There are many ways the Members of Maker Space can help us:

1st - (Ticket SALES CLOSE Tuesday,10/24 at 5pm) We are Still selling [Tickets to the Fallen Heroes Memorial Run Benefit Dinner] (http://fallenheroes.run/product/friday-night-charity-benefit-dinner/).

The Main part of the Weekend and what started this 4 years ago, is the official Fallen Heroes Memorial Run in conjunction with the Spartan Beast Dallas on Saturday, Oct. 28. The race will be Rough Creek Lodge in Glenn Rose, TX on the same property where Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield were both murdered in Feb. 2013.
If you aren’t registered to come run the Beast, you can still take part in the FHMR Virtual Option . This year we have added a Competitive option so you can compete against friends or athletes across the Nation. Complete a 5k and the Chris Kyle WOD and earn this special Medal.
