Greetings all,
My father, James Owen McKiernan Jr, always donated to veterans. Since he passed away, I've been asking myself " How can I contribute" in his honor. I was unable to answer that question until a week ago. An email magically appeared for a half marathon in Gig Harbor, WA whose proceeds were going to VETS for PTSD Services. Coincidence? Happenstance? I think not. After already paying for my registration I thought why not reach out to your family and friends to see if they would donate to this worthy cause. So that is what I am doing all! No pressure. If you feel like contributing, do so. I will write a check for all the donations and bring it with me to the race on September 24th. They have served us well. Let us repay the favor. Booyah!
In gratitude,
Lynn
