Our Story

Founded in 2011 by two Veteran Navy SEALs, Carry The Load began as a 20 hour and 11 minute Memorial March in Dallas, Texas to restore the true meaning of Memorial Day. In 2012, it expanded to include an East Coast Relay, walking from West Point, NY to Dallas, TX. And in 2016 it again expanded to include a West Coast Relay, which travels from Seattle, WA to Dallas. Each year participation has grown. In 2017, we walked through over 19 states and had Rallies in approximately 50 cities throughout the country. The Memorial May Awareness campaign has raised over $17M and also provides funding for Carry The Load’s Continuum of Care program. In 2017, Carry The Load added, Carry The Flag, an educational program to inspire patriotism for students K-12. In 2019, we added a Midwest Route from Minneapolis to Dallas, which increases our footprint to 40 STATES! Carry The Load continues to expand to Honor our Nation’s heroes 365 days a year.
