Help Charles raise money

I only ask my friends to donate money via social media once a year, and to only one charity, the 1st Ranger Battalion Sua Sponte Foundation.  This foundation supports the Rangers and families of the 1st Ranger Battalion.  

Nobody on its board takes any salary. 

Again, this year, I am asking you to support this charity via the Marauders' March, the 1,000 mile challenge. 

This event not only raises money for the Sua Sponte Foundation, but does so by honoring the incredible bravery, grit, determination, and perseverance of the men of the 5307th Composite Unit-Merrill's Marauders during World War II, whose lineal descendants serve in the modern Ranger Regiment.

Last year, I set a goal of covering 750 human-powered miles during the 31 days of March, through a combination of cycling, running, swimming, walking, and rowing.  I actually covered just over 767.  It was hard. Harder than I thought it would be. 

So, of course, this year, I have set my sights higher and harder: 1,000 human-powered miles in March. 

Thirty years ago, I might have done that in cycling alone!  These days, I find it more challenging.

Last year, you humbled me by donating over $3,000 to the Sua Sponte Foundation. I hope you will set your sights higher, as well.

Thanks, in advance, for your donation in ANY amount.  

Even if you do not donate, please take a moment  to reflect on the valiant efforts of Merrill's Marauders in the China Burma India Theater of WWII, and of the modern Rangers who carry that proud tradition into the future.

Rangers lead the way.
