I’m the Emergency Air Evac soldier for Fort Leonard Wood Missouri. I bring all the wounded soldiers safely home from all their tours across the world. I’ll be running for SGT Michael Diramondo who was a good friend of mine that was killed in a downed medic blackhawk in OIF 1.

Bringing them home one miracle at a time!!!
Fort Leonard Wood Air Evac…..HOOAH!!!

I was able to run with you in southern IL on July 31st. I was part of the IL National Guard team. It was an honor to be able to witness the support of our soldiers from all involved.
I plan on running 5 miles for SFC William (Bill) Chaney - B Co 1/106th AVN (Chicago Maddogs) crew chief and friend on the 24th in Lombard IL.
Thank you for planning this event.
Is there any way to purchase the brown Run for the Fallen Tshirt?

I will be running on Friday in Alvin, Texas in honor of my son, 1 Lt. Timothy Cunningham while you are running in his honor in Virginia. Thank you for remembering him in this way. He was a runner - had done several marathons. In addition, I will be running The Hottest Half Marathon in Dallas at White Rock Lake on Sunday, August 24, also in honor of Tim and the other fallen soldiers. Thank you so much for organizing this event. Tim and I were running buddies and I can’t think of a better way to remember him.
