Doing The Last Dot Standing Backyard Ultra to raise money for Stop Soldier Suicide.

In the first year after leaving the military, the suicide rate among veterans reaches 46.2 per 100,000. This is one of the most vulnerable periods in a veteran’s life—when immediate intervention can make all the difference. With that being said I had the honor to run my first (and possibly my last 😂) Last Man Standing. Also known as a backyard ultra . The rules are simple you have one hour to go 4.167 miles . So if it takes you 45 minutes you have 15 minutes to get to the starting line to do it again . Recently my longer efforts have been to raise money and awareness for causes I believe in . As a suicide survivor when I found out my coach @cjputrich was raising money for @stopsoldiersuicide it was a no brainer . If anyone is reading this and wants to help follow the link in the comments . Thank you @tenjunkmiles @tenjunkmilesracing for bringing such amazing people together. Although I didn’t get the mileage I was going for I fn showed up and gave some sweat for a great and important cause . Friendly reminder that actions speak louder than words . ❤️#stopsoldiersuicide #mensmentalhealth #ultrarunning #running
