I’m thrilled to be participating in WDF Memorial Day Ruck & Roll 2026, a fundraiser supporting We Defy! As a veteran mysefl I have directly seen the postive impacts Jiu jitsu has had on veterans seeking to improve their lives. As a 25 year practioner of Judo & Jiu Jitsu the martial arts have had a tremendous impact on shaping me into who I am today. Every donation—big or small—helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

This memorial day we will be hosting a ruck & open mat on 2 May 2026. 

• 7am 5k Ruck: Starting at Press Cafe along the trinity river. 4801 Edwards Ranch rd unit 105, Fort Worth TX, 76109
• 10am -  noon  (roll) Open mat:        Six Blades Fort Worth | 6060 soutwest blvd, Benbrook TX, 76109

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!
