I’m participating in The War Within — Anthony Salem Challenge because this cause is personal to me. I’ve seen how PTSD, addiction, and trauma can quietly impact lives, and I believe no one should have to fight those battles alone.

This challenge honors Iraq Combat Veteran Anthony Salem and stands for everyone still fighting the war within. Every mile I complete is intentional, and every dollar raised supports Running2bWell, providing real support—shoes, fitness gear, race entries, and community—for veterans and individuals in recovery.

Thank you for supporting my effort and being part of someone’s path toward healing and hope.
