On November 10, 2024 I’ll be honoring the brave service men and women AND our first responders who defend our freedom by running the Manchester Marathon. (I'll be running the half-marathon)
I've been given a wrist band with the name George R. Roehl's, Jr. He was a US Army PFC who is one of 96 New Hampshire Veterans who sacrificed his life in the War on Terror life to protect ours. I'll be wearing this bracelet during the race and running in his honor.
I'm helping raise money for Veterans and their families in New Hampshire and hope you will consider a contribution. Any amount will make a difference in the lives of Veterans and their families.
The money that is raised will go to worthy Veteran service organizations both locally and nationally. Go to http://www.swam.org to learn more about the organizations that Swim With A Mission supports. Since 2017 Swim With A Mission has donated over $7 million for Veterans through a variety of events including this swim event.
Manchester City Marathon
Sunday, November 10, 2024 marks the 18th annual running of the Manchester City Marathon. The marathon is a moderately challenging Boston Qualifier that takes runners on a scenic trip through the historic mill district of the Granite State’s largest city. Runners in the full and half marathon will enjoy a run that includes fabulous views of the Queen City, surrounding areas, and beautiful fall foliage. Mark your calendars and join us for the Manchester City Marathon, Half Marathon, 5k, and Relays on Sunday!
Since our formation in 2017, we have donated over $8 million to honor and support local, regional and national veteran support organizations that provide critical services to our Veterans. These include supporting Veteran organizations that provide housing, take care of our homeless, support day to day services, provide service and support K-9’s, scholarships, jobs, create equine immersion programs and support art programs. Please explore www.swam.org to get more details about how you can get involved with us and our mission.
