Please join us for a Walk For Valor on Saturday, August 1st and Sunday, August 2nd on Long Island, New York.

United States Marine Corps Reserve Major Chad Lennon will embark in a 66-mile journey holding 22 pounds to represent the 22 Veterans who die by suicide each day. He will begin at Citi Field in Long Island, NY and end his journey at Grumman Memorial Park.

This hike is not only to raise awareness of Veteran suicides, but it’s also a display of camaraderie and togetherness. We want all Veterans and active military to know that we’re in this fight together!  You are not alone!  This is a Buddy Check!

Chad will also be carrying the American Flag and SAR Flag.

The hike will stop every 22 miles to do 22 push-ups and talk to spectators at the checkpoint.

The hike will go on Route 25A from Citifield to Grumman Memorial Park.

Chad will carry anything for 1 mile and asks that you make a donation for the participating charities.

If you would like to join the hike in any capacity, please go to our contact page and send us an email!

Sponsorship also available!
