On November 7, 2021 I’ll be honoring the brave service men and women AND our first responders who defend our freedom by running the Manchester Marathon. 

All proceeds of the race will benefit Veterans Count, a program of Easterseals, which provides emergency financial assistance for service members, veterans and their families when no other resource is available.

All proceeds of the race will benefit Veterans Count, the philanthropic arm of Easterseals Military & Veterans Services (MVS), which provides financial assistance for services for service members, veterans and their families when no other resource is available. 

Over the past 15 years, MVS, with financial support from Veterans Count, has served more than 17,500 individuals suicide risk, unemployment, homelessness, substance misuse, legal concerns, and mental health issues. MVS supports families through a Care Coordination model and provides financial assistance for food, utilities, housing, transportation, fuel, and vehicle repair, and more!
