This April, I’m taking on Ruck4HIT, a physical challenge that directly supports Heroes in Transition (HIT) and their work helping veterans successfully move from military service to civilian life.

I’ve seen firsthand how impactful this organization is. Last September, I raised funds for HIT during a 100-mile bike ride, and the experience reinforced why this work matters: real support, real outcomes, and real respect for those who’ve served.

Ruck4HIT isn’t just about the miles or the weight—it’s about showing up for veterans who are navigating one of the toughest transitions of their lives. Every dollar raised goes toward career coaching, education, and long-term stability for our nation’s heroes.

Here’s the ask:
👉 Donate if you can.
👉 Share this page if you can’t.

Your support—at any level—makes a difference. Let’s put purpose behind the effort and help our veterans move forward strong.

Thank you for being part of this.

Ruck4HIT was created in collaboration with supporters, local veterans, first responders and those currently serving to raise awareness and funding for Heroes In Transition, Inc. and their various veteran/active service members and military family programs.

As every service member is forced to carry the burden of war during active service and beyond, carrying the ruck sack is symbolic of hardships endured and the perseverance required to complete the mission.

This event raises funds for Heroes In Transition, all in the continuing effort to never leave a fallen comrade behind.

A team-based ruck relay, where teams run 200+ miles through all 15 towns on the Cape.  The race spans roughly 36 hours with a Finish Line Party at Cape Cod Fairgrounds. Starting in Falmouth, participants ruck to the tip of the Cape in Provincetown where the first team challenge — climbing the Pilgrim Monument together — occurs. Teams then ruck back towards the finish line in Falmouth to celebrate what they have accomplished together.

Each athlete runs 2-4 miles at a time with a 10- to 20-pound rucksack on his/her back. The rucksack is symbolic of the burdens our military and veterans make and have made in service to our country. 

Funds raised will support Heroes In Transition’s mission to assist service members, veterans, and military families in our region through programs which strengthen relationships, build community, offer healing, and empower individuals.
