4x4x48 Challenge In Support Of Special Forces And Veteran Non-Profits

We have an exciting and important announcement. My friend, retired Green Beret Andrew Marr, and his brother Adam Marr (Army Apache Pilot) asked me to sponsor, fundraise, and participate in this year’s 4x4x48 challenge. This challenge is a cause near and dear to my heart as I am one of the veterans that these organizations have helped overcome my struggles with mental health and the long-term impact of Traumatic Brain Injury.
