I’m just another runner, trying to do something a bit more…these days, I feel like I should be helping disabled vets, and I’ve linked up with Team Race 4 Veterans to promote awareness. Eventually, I’m planning on supporting them by fundraising/racing, but I’m still working out the details there. For the time being, I like to pimp R4V as much as possible just to get the word spread, and I’ve covered R4V with some blog posts as a result. Just know that my goal is to eventually step up my game and actually raise money so that athletic vets have the equipment they need to cope with their conditions and pursue their athletic ambitions. I blog about a lot of things, from R4V, to general thoughts on life and running. So by no means is this a blog dedicated to one thing. But hopefully it’s illuminating and interesting enough to you as a reader to keep coming back and recommending it to your friends! Feel free to leave a comment with constructive criticism or kudos at any time and please take the time to hit up R4V’s website so you can understand where I’m driving this thing in the long run.

Cheers,

Matty K
