I love running and swimming because of the people I meet I have met some incredible people recently. It also pushes me to acheive more. I am running the Memorial Mile Challenge between now and graduation in 2012 I am going to run one official race mile for every person killed in Afghanistan this stands now at 378 deaths and I have run 32 miles so far. I wish to encourage others to join me run a mile in rememberance even if they do not personally know those killed. So far I have met so many great people on these runs have been joined by friends and I hope more people will join me. I will run at various events around the country so that as many people can join me. I am raising money for SSAFA a charity that supports bereaved families as well as the injured. My goal is to run a mile for everyone no one is forgotten and I dream of giving just a little something back.
