Hi everyone!!
The Run With The Wild 5k/10k hosted annually in Hood River, OR is all about supporting our wildland firefighters!
I'll be running the 10k and prior to the event, we have the chance to raise as much money as we can - 100% of your donation goes to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation to help our wounded firefighters & support families of the fallen.
This is such an important cause - with climate change, the recently catastrophic LA Fires and the destruction due fires that we have seen up and close happening every summer to our beautiful PNW - please help us raise money for the hardworking heroes that keep our communc ities safe!
LFG!!!

The mission of WFF is to support the families of firefighters who have perished or been injured in the line of duty -- their role during medical emergencies and fatality events cannot be understated.
