Yukon High School graduate and West Point cadet, David Swanson will begin a 24-hour marathon run around the track at the YHS grounds this Friday, March 20th at 5PM. His wants to raise the money for the Wounded Warrior Project which is an organization that assists soldiers who return from the battlefield with disabling injuries.
David said: 'I hope that people recognize the sacrifice and the full measure of devotion that soldiers overseas are giving to preserve and spread democracy around the works; making the world a safer place for us to exist. Even in these rocky economic times, we still have it so much greater than so many people throughout the world and I hope that people in Yukon and Oklahoma will recognize the importance of caring for these guardians.'
David invites everyone to come and run with him to help reach his goal of raising $10,000 for our veterans.
This is a worthy cause so please come and sponsor David or make a donation!
I would see you there!
With smiles,
Bo
