TEAM RUBICON wrote -
TEAM RUBICON is coming to your community, building localized teams of veteran first responders. You can help make it happen. If you are running in the Honda LA Marathon this year and want to support Team Rubicon, click the JOIN THE TEAM button on the right and become a fundraiser for the cause. Even if you’re not running you can still join the team and help fundraise for the cause. After you’ve joined the team, personalize your text and send the link to all of your friends and family.
Team Rubicon specializes in veteran focused disaster relief in the United States and the developing world. On the streets of Port-au-Prince, in the immediate aftermath of the Haiti earthquake, TR’s military veterans realized a simple truth – natural disasters present the same problems that face troops in Iraq and Afghanistan: unstable populations, limited resources, horrific sights, sounds and smells. The skills cultivated on those same battlefields – emergency medicine, risk assessment and management, teamwork and decisive leadership – are invaluable in disaster zones. Hundreds of US military veterans, many returning home after fighting ten years of war, find a renewed sense of purpose for their skills and experiences through TR.
WHAT’S THE RUN AS ONE INSPIRATION? In January 2012, TR is putting on its second half-marathon in South Sudan; an extension of the Medical Peace Initiative brokered by Dr. Glenn Geelhoed. The male and female winners of the RUN AS ONE - SUDAN half-marathon will be flown to Los Angeles to participate in the Honda LA Marathon 2012. For the first time these South Sudanese athletes have the opportunity to qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
