On May 28th 2016 Alyx Ulbrich will run a 100 painful miles in honor of the veterans that have been lost to the fog of PTSD and suicide.
You don't have to run with her (although pledges of miles are welcome across the globe) ....
However, she is asking that you donate funds for Irreverent Warriors directly for their continued silkies hikes and otherwise humorous outreaches to provide humor and joy in the face of a dark and painful issue within the military community.
Irreverent Warriors the backstory -
Together, we are preventing veteran suicide through the use of unconventional therapy. Veterans are different, and therefore use different methods of coping. In the face of tragedy, a veteran is more likely to use humor and camaraderie as a coping mechanism than anything else. In 7 months we have brought together over 7,000 veterans around the country to laugh, connect, bond, and support each other. No other organization has brought anywhere close to this many veterans together. Clearly, our methods work.
Are you sure?
