November 15, 2009, at Pier 46 in Manhattan, the Lead the Way Fund will kick off the 3rd Annual Run Down Hero Highway at 10:00 a.m. (registration starts at 9:03 a.m.).
The Lead the Way Fund was founded in honor of SGT James "Jimmy" Regan (C/3/75 9FEB07 KIA Baqubah, Iraq) to benefit the families of Rangers killed, wounded and serving abroad in defense of Our Country.
The Run Down Hero Highway is organized by a few of Jimmy's friends from his college days who wanted to honor Jimmy's service and sacrifice, but also to do more than just pay the entry fees for various other LTWF events. This was what we came up with.
It is a day to get out and enjoy one more day outside before winter arrives, to raise a glass with old friends and new, and most importantly to honor and remember those that Lead the Way: Soldiers serving with the 75th Ranger Regiment of the United States Army. Walk, run or ruck...and then imbibe.
Entry fee is $50 (includes t-shirt and brunch)
After the run, we will rally at P.J. Clarke's on the Hudson, at 250 Vesey Street in the World Financial Center, for food, drinks and live music, as well as a special presentation to the Regan family by the American Fallen Soldiers Project.
To register, please go to the Lead the Way Fund website (www.leadthewayfund.org) and click on EVENTS. This is the preferred method; we will of course take any walk-ups the day of the event.
Please spread the word to friends, family members and any others you think may be interested. There are some fellow ShadowSpear members who attended last year that can attest to it being a great time.
We hope to see you at the start line, 15 NOV 09. Rangers Lead the Way!
Respectfully submitted,
Rudy
