I'm participating in Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) Carry Forward® Virtual 5K to support life-changing programs for post-9/11 veterans -- and I'd be honored to have your support.
I am carrying forward to help ensure warriors receive the life-changing care they deserve, always at no cost to them.
To Register you can go to this hyperlink: https://carryforward.woundedwarriorproject.org/participants/Brandon-laaksonen-2026
or you can go to the wounder warrior carry forward website and search my name under squads.
I am carrying forward to support mental health, financial wellness, and long-term independence for warriors, their families, and caregivers.
I am carrying forward to help build a future where no warrior is left behind.
Every step I take and every dollar I raise helps create the care and community where veterans thrive for a lifetime. Will you support me with a 100% tax-deductible donation today?
This is a in person or virtual 5k event, everything donated is contributed to the organization itself and not to the sponsor, I just coordinate and facilitate the event with hopes we get the best possible outcome and that for anyone who attends would want to attend again.
There is a registration fee on their website that they consider a donation, but for that fee they also provide you with a shirt and medal as a thank you. These I will ask you bring to the event because they ask, we submit a photo for those who give consent.
With this being a 5k fun run, you are not required to run, I have had previous participants, walk with flags, ruck with either pack or weighted vest, or just enjoy a nice walk.
At the end I will provide a beverage and snack as a thank you from me for your participation. Then ask anyone willing to join in on the photo.
