Help Rudi raise money

For participating in The 2023 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

My Story…

In 2004, Robbie and Brittany Bergquist were 12 and 13 years old and happened to catch a news story about a soldier deployed in Afghanistan who needed help paying his $8,000 cell phone bill due to roaming charges and calling his family from overseas. They immediately went into action, donating their piggy bank money and hosting a community car wash, bake sale and other activities to raise funds. As a result, they were able to pay off the soldier’s entire cell phone bill. This experience made them aware of a systematic problem and the challenges US service members faced calling home and staying connected with loved ones. They realized they had a greater mission to fulfill and this started them on the path of creatingCell Phones for Soldiers. For nearly 20years, the non-profit organization has provided cost-free communication services to active-duty service members and veterans.
