Carrying Forward: Why I’m Running the Wounded Warrior Project 5K in 2025

Posted by Brent Parker on Jun 4, 2025 2:02:12 PM

This year, I’m lacing up my shoes with a purpose.

 

I’ve joined the Wounded Warrior Project® Carry Forward® Virtual 5K, and every step I take is for the brothers and sisters who still carry invisible wounds — post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injuries, depression, anxiety, and the countless battles that continue long after returning home.

 

This isn’t just a run. It’s a mission — one that reflects both my personal journey as a combat veteran and the values that drive everything we do at Resilience Repurposed LLC.

 

I’ve seen firsthand what happens when warriors come home but never truly return. I’ve lived through it. That’s why this event means so much to me — because it funds real programs that help warriors rebuild lives, restore purpose, and rediscover strength.

 

Through Wounded Warrior Project, 100% of donations go toward life-changing services in mental health, independence, and career support — all free for those who served.

 

By donating, you’re not just supporting a cause. You’re investing in the future of those who’ve sacrificed for this country.
