Help Josh raise money

I am running in the 5K race to raise money to support currently serving military and their famlies through USO programs. Last year, I  helped start a USO running team for the Twin Cities Marathon. I thought if I am asking other people to run to help raise money, then I should put in some of my own sweat. While I am the only one running the 5k, it will be a challenge for me.

I am running because I have met a lot of people over my past 11 years of working for the USO who inspire me. I met a spouse of a Air National Guardsmen whose husband was oversees. She has kids, a job, and was always looking for ways to help her family and other military families in a similar situation. Amazing.

I met a service member in North Dakota who is from a southern state. He was nevous about the upcoming winter and not having much do. And he has a very stressful mission. He didn't think many people knew about what military actually did, but he was grateful for USO volunteers support.

I am running to bring awareness to those who make sacrafices everyday and I want thank them.
