Bataan Memorial Death March

March 30, 2008 in White Sands, NM

   

"The Bataan Memorial Death March is a truly inspiring event. For wounded warriors it represents the culmination of all their rehabilitative efforts. There is truly nothing in this world as motivating as watching a severely wounded service member cross the finish line, well ahead of able bodied people, in honor of the Bataan survivors. This being my fourth march I have promised myself to come back every year until I can not physically participate anymore, then I will come back to watch!"

While I have been training extensively for months now, my true test was the 13 mile half-marathon run...walk along the beaches of Jacksonville with Steve Nardizzi. The sand was tough but Steve was tougher and is now named Cyborg since I believe he is part machine.

 

Keep checking in to see how I will truly beat the Cyborg in White Sands, New Mexico!
