Description

22 For the 22 Rucking & Walking Event This event is designed to bring awareness to the 22 Veterans we lose daily to suicide. We will gather and ruck around beautiful Newfound Lake, NH. The course is made of three distances: 5K, 10K and a 22K. This event is not timed nor is it a race. It is a gathering for those who struggle, those supporting those who struggle and those who want to bring awareness to this cause.. It is suggested that you carry the symbolic weight of 22 lbs or more in your ruck/back pack, however, it is not required and we will not be weighing them. A complimentary pint of beer and a warm meal will be provided to all participants at the end of the course. Medals will be given to those who complete the 18.5 miles. Make sure you join and follow "Hidden Battles Group" on Facebook for more updates on this event. Hidden Battles is a non-profit organization that strives to help preserve the healthy minds of veterans, fire fighters, police officers and first responders through treatment and counseling for depression, suicidal tendencies and PTSD. Hidden Battles’ primary goal is to raise awareness of suicide related deaths in our defenders of freedom and public safety. The cause of these deaths is often related to mental health issues stemming from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, job related stress, traumatic brain injuries and the daily struggle of separating military service back to civilian life.
