4. Gunny's Route – Oceanside, CA to Trenton, NJ

5. Why is the Gunny doing this again? “Because it needs to be done. It's personal this time… It’s called the Major Walk in honor of my brother, Major Brady. Due to the fact that my brother, and a Marine brother of mine, took their own lives, I’m walking to raise awareness of the things our service members face when they come back home. Some come home with visible wounds, and some come home looking fine…but things like Traumatic Brain Injuries and Post Traumatic Stress aren’t visible. TBI and PTS can wreak havoc on the mental state of our service members, leading to divorce, drug/alcohol addiction, trouble with law enforcement, and suicidal tendencies. I’m walking to spread awareness of these issues to whoever will listen to me. If you saw me walking down the road, with my rucksack and Marine Corps flag waving behind me…and looked me up, then my plan worked. You are here learning about difficulties that wounded service members face.”

6. How can you help? You can support the organization I’m walking to draw attention to. Combat Wounded Veteran Challenge doesn’t help just a few people at a time. They help a few people immediately, those people are helping researchers, and the researchers are compiling data to be distributed to professionals that practice in the area of: prosthetics and orthotics, traumatic brain injuries, and post traumatic stress. The research is going to help an exponential amount of people wounded in previous and current wars, as well as future injured heroes and civilians. If you are near where I’m walking, please come out say hi and get a picture! The more people that get involved and share info and pictures online, the more what I’m doing makes a difference. Are you on social media? We’ll be using #majorwalk on our posts, feel free to do the same. I will be posting on the Facebook Page from the road, and the support team will be posting from Combat Wounded Veteran Challenge. You can tag @combatwoundedveteranchallenge or the walk page @walk4warriors (or tag both!).

7. Donations help us make a difference You can donate to Combat Wounded below, or donate to the walk funds to be used for expenses that I might have during my walk: food, campground fees, etc. Although last time I had quite a lot donated, we can’t expect that to happen again. Any money still in the fund at the end of the walk will be donated to the Combat Wounded Veteran Challenge. Gunny's Walk Fund: CombatWounded.org/MajorWalk Direct to CWVC: You can also easily donate by texting MAJORWALK to 41444!
