More About Walk For Warriors
On March 1, 2015, retired Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt Roy Brady,
Jr., embarks on a cross country trek from the heart. It’s dedicated to
his fellow warriors. As a veteran himself, the concept for the “Walk For Warriors” grew
out of his love for the military, families of those that serve and
awareness of the difficult challenges faced by returning personnel as
they transition from war front to home front. His walk began in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina with a send-off courtesy of the local Marine Reserve Unit and will wind its way through the roads and highways of Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, before ending at Camp Pendleton in California approximately 6-8 months from when he began.
Roy Brady’s “Walk For Warriors” journey celebrates the heart of every soldier, with recovery as the mission, the objective remains leaving no one behind. Join Roy in honoring our military by contributing to his Challenge Fund at Combat Wounded Veteran Challenge.
Roy’s goal is to raise $35,000 to go towards one of our programs* such as The Adaptive Sailing Boot Camp for Novices in Galveston, Texas or our SCUBA challenge that takes place to not only advance the work being done on prosthetic limbs, but also works in cooperation with MOTE to rebuild the reefs, including the Memorial Reef started during our 2014 SCUBA Challenge.
