SAVE THE DATE

Lead The Way Fund's

5th Annual

"A RUN DOWN HERO HIGHWAY"

Sunday, November 20, 2011

Dear Supporters of The Lead The Way Fund and fellow patriots,

Another year has passed and the LTWF's annual Run/Walk Down Hero Highway is rapidly approaching! Thanks to your continued support and attendance, this event gets bigger and better each year and our 5th Annual is sure to outshine them all. As per standard, the run will take place on West St. past the hallow grounds of the World Trade Center in view of her Lady Liberty. Having outgrown our previous post-race celebration venue, this year the party will now take place at the beautiful Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers.

In addition to the live music, food and beverages, the day will also include moving presentations from some of our Nation's heroes, outstanding raffle prizes and tons of Lead The Way gear! We are also exceptionally pleased to announce that Phil Taylor from the American Fallen Soldiers Project (formed to provide comfort and healing to the mourning families of our fallen military men and women through incredible portrait renditions) will be presenting an original portrait to the family of beloved fallen Rangers and a first responder.

Below you will find some initial details about the day so you can Save the Date, plan accordingly and spread the word!

I'll be there this year as I got a personal invitation from Sgt. James J. Regan's father.

He & I met coming from Change of Command of RR11. Jim, Sr. saw me wearing my Run Down Hero Hwy Tee-shirt honoring Sgt. James J. Regan is how we got to talking.

Be kind of cool if a bunch of us could be there... Maybe Participate... I can't run as fast a Papa84 I'm sure but if there were a few old timers that were willing to give it a go I might consider it. Of course we could just meet at the end!

Left over right, right over left! Walk or run, doesn't matter to me McD, it would be a great way to support this charitable organization and meet Ranger's! Plus we can all grab some suds at the end (Double !!).

[Rockin Ranger]

Ranger McD - I don't run very much anymore, but I can still hump a ruck and Love NYC (my place of birth). If you want slow and steady, I will walk it with you, brother. RLTW

[McD]

Just started running this last spring. I could probably keep a 8 -8.5 min mile pace. Maybe a ruck run...mmmmm! First I've got to make sure I can make it. If I do go I want to participate!

Gary & I will be looking for the two of you AntonA2W. Leave your ruck home- I don't want to have to drag you & the ruck back to finish line.
