My Story…
For those that may not know me, my name is Dan Murphy. I will be competing this year in the Falmouth Road Race as a member of Team Heroes In Transition, or “HIT” for short! Heroes In Transition, Inc. is a veteran assistance organization founded in 2009 with the purpose of aiding military members and their families in the shift from military to civilian life.
On paper, the mission is simply that. The impact, however, is far more striking than any amount of words I could piece together.
I have experienced HIT’s community from both sides of the plate—as a civilian and as a serviceman. Let it be known that the sense of love, meaning and community that I have felt as a result of sharing my time with the individuals involved has flooded my soul with the deepest contentment and, unabashedly, my eyes with the ever-so-odd tear.
If you would like to give more than well wishes, I ask that you please consider donating to my fundraising campaign. All proceeds go directly to Heroes In Transition, Inc. and will be turned into the tools necessary to ease the struggle of those coping with the life-altering shift.
If you choose to leave your name, I have pledged to run with each and every donor’s name stamped to the shirt I will be wearing on race day. Consider it an unofficial contract, even if I have to stamp “Anonymous” a hundred times!
If you too want to learn more and be a part of the HIT community, all you have to do is visit https://heroesintransition.org/ and contribute in whatever capacity you can.
For inquiries regarding participation in the running of the 2024 Falmouth Road Race as a member of Team HIT, or what you can do to help on race day, email Executive Director Nicole Spencer at nicole@heroesintransition.org
No member involved, I myself or any other, will see a cent of any amount raised. Us runners aim to sweat so that our veterans don’t have to.
Semper Fi.
