Message from Semper Fi Fund

Corey Petersen, the Community Outreach Coordinator for The Semper Fi Fund asked me to share this message with my supporters so you can all know the real good that your contributions have made.

“A young Marine Corporal is in the burn unit ICU. He was injured in January in Kajaki Dist, Helmand Province, Afghanistan, from an IED attack while conducting a dismounted security patrol. He has burns over 70% of his body, he’s a double amputee, and has trauma to head and upper torso.  He is still in critical condition.

Please keep this Corporal and his family in your prayers. Mom and Dad have not left his bedside. The Dad sleeps in the ICU waiting room each night because he will not leave the hospital. He is covered with our SFF blanket.

Our Case Manager has also covered them with her love and strength. She has become close to the family and has provided much more than our financial support. Mom is an accountant and lost her job due to time at the bedside, Dad is also without pay right now. Because of our precious donors (YOU) we are able to be there for them.”

I want all of America to know about these brave guys and the invaluable work that Semper Fi Fund does to help them and their families. That’s why I’ve dedicated my racing this year to raising awareness and money for Semper Fi Fund.

I’m going out for a twelve mile training run right now. Won’t you surprise me with a new donation when I get back? You're the greatest. Here’s a link to my contribution page…
