Bristol Half Marathon and 10K Race Benefiting Fisher House CT® 2017

For the second year in a row, Wounded Vets Strong was proud to volunteer at the 5th Annual Bristol Half Marathon and 10K Race to benefit Fisher House CT®. This Sunday, August 13th, seven members of our club and a few amazing parent volunteers arrived at the Healthtrax in Bristol at 6:30am for a sunny and energetic morning of fun. Starting with our sunrise arrival, we helped set-up the event as well as make sure that it went smoothly until the very end. Our volunteers handed out waters and medals, organized trophies, facilitated a Kids Fun Run, and manned our Wounded Vets Strong tent selling t-shirts and pens for Fisher House CT®.

Our club is so proud of our president, Haley Latorre, as she is working closely with Fisher House CT® as an intern. Throughout this spring and summer, Haley helped the organization to plan and prepare for the kids fun run, half marathon, and the 10K event, always keeping in mind the ways that WVS could help out and bring its efforts directly to the organization itself in Bristol. WVS will continue to support Fisher House CT® any way that we can, especially through this exciting annual event.
