Thanks for visiting my Pack & Boots 5K fundraising page!
On July 4, 2025 I’ll be honoring the brave service men and women who defend our freedom by running the Veterans Count Pack & Boots 5K & 1 Mile Survival Run in Portsmouth.
All proceeds of the race will benefit Veterans Count, the philanthropic arm of Easterseals Military & Veterans Services (MVS), which provides emergency financial assistance for service members, veterans and their families when no other resource is available.
Over the past 15 years, MVS has served more than 18,000 individuals for challenges including suicide risk, unemployment, homelessness, substance use disorders, legal concerns, and mental health issues, as well as providing emergency financial assistance for food, utilities, housing, transportation, fuel, and vehicle repair.
I hope you can make a donation to help me reach my fundraising goal. 100% of every dollar you give to my fundraising page will go directly to Veterans Count to help service members, veterans and their families. All contributions are tax deductible.
