Lisa’s courage, strength and powerful way to honor her husband is so inspiring to me.

Running was my way to cope with deployment and now I run to honor her, her husband and all our Fallen Soldiers and their families who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Our Fallen Soldiers are not just a casualty number. They are husbands and wives, sons and daughters. They are mothers and fathers who will never get to hug or tuck their children in at night.
