While stationed in DC, Ruck ‘N’ Run® creator George W. Fuller served as a liaison for U.S. Service Members returning from overseas due to an injury or illness, which included those wounded in combat.

This unique duty allowed him to interact with thousands for U.S. Service Members on their journey to a full recovery.

One aspect of his duties was to give combat wounded Service Members a grant in the form of a prepaid credit card. These were provided by the nonprofit organization called Army Emergency Relief and were presented to help their transition from battlefield to home-front.

This gave him the idea to set up a fund to help provide assistance to those who still serve in uniform and those who served in uniform. That’s why Honoring Those Who Serve(d)® is spelled with parentheses. This fund is to help U.S. Service Members and Veterans that are in need or who are going through a difficult situation.

A portion of registration fees from select events and generous donations will be set aside in a fund called, Honoring Those Who Serve(d)®.
