A Movement We Can All Be A Part Of

“My grandpa and aunt are both veterans. I do this for them and for all the men and women who have sacrificed so much. All wounded warriors have paid the ultimate sacrifice for all of us here in America. I want to be able to give back in some way until I am old enough to enlist.” Carson Campos, Carry Forward Virtual 5K Participant

“I am so grateful to see so many community members and veterans at the Carry Forward 5K event. It just shows that there are people who want to help carry forward those veterans struggling with their injuries (visible/invisible) and make them feel at home.” Anthony Villareal, Wounded Warrior & Carry Forward 5K Participant

“I participate in Carry Forward 5K because I really believe in WWP and its mission and want to honor my father's memory and service. I personally connect with my donors and share with them how their support helps veterans in need of physical and/or emotional support services.” Reece Jensen, Carry Forward 5K Participant
