Run Ranger Run VII

Run Ranger Run VII

Our team, Run Ranger Wives, has pledged to walk, run, row and/or bike a combined total of 565 miles in the month of February!  We are raising funds for The Darby Project, which works to empower Ranger veterans to smoothly transition into civilian life and lead the way in their communities.

The work of The Darby Project makes a huge difference and these miles will change lives!  

Concept

In 2012, 3rd Ranger Battalion veteran US Army Corporal Cory Smith, having deployed to combat twice, experienced having friends killed and wounded and with his own marriage failing, decided to highlight the difficult journey home many soldiers have leaving the Army by undergoing a very public and very difficult journey home himself.  Cory decided to run 565 miles in 28 days while holding his daughter Elleigh in his arms at the end goal of his run.

As a Result

To honor Cory’s incredible effort and to continue the momentum to raise awareness for veteran issues – particularly around divorce, unemployment, homelessness and suicide – GallantFew offers an annual Run Ranger Run event.
