I have the honor of running with the Indianapolis portion of “Team Tillman” in this Fall’s New York City Marathon.
By accepting the invitation I am also agreeing to raise money for the Scholarship Program in the amount of $4240, symbolic of Pat’s NCAA & NFL football jersey numbers. I’m 12% of the way there after a week and a half, and I’d like you to consider making a donation. Here’s the link. It’s an easy process; you can donate via credit card.
Do you know Pat Tillman’s story?
In the aftermath of the attacks on September 11, 2001, Pat Tillman selflessly put his successful NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals on hold to serve his country. In 2004, following his death while serving with the 75th Ranger Regiment in Afghanistan, his family and friends created the Pat Tillman Foundation.
The mission of the Pat Tillman Foundation is to invest in veterans and their families through education, community and advocacy. With the efforts of Team Tillman New York members and the generous support of individuals, corporations and organizations throughout the country, the Pat Tillman Foundation strives to increase the amount of funds awarded nationally each year to Tillman Military Scholars to $3.6 million, to represent the NFL contract Pat walked away from when he enlisted in the U.S. Army.
