I
have been incredibly honored to work with The Pat Tillman Foundation for the
past four years. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the race and over 35,000
people are expected to gather in Tempe for Pat’s Run on Saturday, April 26. The 4.2-mile Run/Walk to honor
Pat and raise scholarship funds for Tillman
Military Scholars will wind through the streets of
Tempe, finishing at the 42-yard line of Frank Kush Field, symbolic of the #42
jersey Pat wore as an ASU Sun Devil.
In addition, 33 shadow runs will take place in select cities around the
United States, on or near April 26. Pat’s
story has inspired so many people and his legacy lives on through the Tillman
Military Scholars.
To date, the Foundation has provided $4.6 million in college scholarships
that have put 290 veterans or their spouses through school.
