PROVIDING HOPE AND HEALING TO THOSE WHO SERVE
We are committed to finding the very best tools and programming for veterans and first responders to help them restore their lives after overcoming trauma. United States Army Private First Class Kyle Marshall Farr, of the 240th Quartermaster Unit SSA Platoon which supported the 169th Support Battalion during Operation Iraqi Freedom was an infantryman.
When he returned home, he was treated for Post Traumatic Stress and diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury at both Walter Reed and Perry Point VA Hospital in Maryland. He was laid to rest in Hamilton, VA. where he spent most of his childhood. Born out of tremendous grief and a determined desire to help other veterans, his mother, Leslie Mayne, along with her family and friends determined to honor Kyle’s memory and service to his country by seeking better outcomes for other returning veterans. The Race for A Soldier in Gig Harbor, WA. was created in 2011 and the beginning of a movement that is bringing hope and healing for our veterans, helping them make peace with their past and develop programs that foster “post-traumatic growth.”
Now, we proudly deliver Warrior PATHH (Progressive, Alternative Training for Helping Heroes) Programming in the Pacific Northwest, and are excited about the next 15 years of growth ahead of us!
