About Us
From Our Founder
"In 2018, I had no idea how I was going to make change in our Family and Hero community. But I couldn't sit on the sidelines any more. I couldn't watch, as every week we heard of another loss.
I took a chance, and couldn't believe the support that came after. I am beyond thankful for all of you. The guy standing in that picture years ago still has the same goal. And it wont change until the day they put me in the Ground!"
'Deeds Not Words'

Ruck for the Fallen is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting our lost, injured, and grievously ill heroes and their families. Through community-driven ruck events and fundraising efforts, we provide meaningful financial and emotional support to those who have given so much in service to others.
​
Our mission is built on unwavering commitment. We believe that service members, veterans, and first responders should never have to face their hardships alone. Every event we host and every dollar raised goes directly toward helping heroes and their loved ones during their greatest times of need.
​
Ruck for the Fallen brings together veterans, first responders, and supporters who want to turn physical effort into real-world impact. By rucking together, we raise awareness, build community, and provide tangible support for the heroes who sacrifice for all of us.
