I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2007, and after 19 years of service I've seen firsthand what happens when warriors lose their team and their sense of mission. I've also seen what the mats can do. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) gives you a community, a daily challenge, and a reason to keep showing up.
That's why I'm participating in the We Defy Ruck and Roll. We Defy Foundation provides BJJ programs for combat veterans, giving them a team, a mission, and a path forward.
On Veterans Day, 11 November, I'm hosting our event at One Way Martial Arts in Alexandria, VA. We'll ruck, train, and roll together, but the real mission is raising funds so more veterans can step onto the mat.
Please consider donating. Whether it's $10 or $100, every dollar puts another veteran on the mat. And if you can't give, sharing this page helps just as much.
Thank you for standing with me and with the veterans We Defy serves.
