22 Strong

Join us for a the 22 Strong, 22 mile and/or 22 Day Challenge benefiting several local veteran's charities.  This year we will be offering the in person 22 mile walk on September 11, 2021 and a virtual option in which participants will be challenged to walk or run every day for 22 days starting on August 21st, 2021.  They will track their daily miles using any tracking app (Strava, MapMyRun, MapMyWalk, etc.) and report them to our challenge website. The purpose of these events is to show our support and solidarity with the US service members who have served, who currently serve, and for those who sacrificed everything in service to their country.  22 miles and 22 days was chosen to represent the 22 veterans who commit suicide each and every day.  Mission 22, Six String Heroes, Focus Marines Foundation and other local St. Louis area Veterans charities are the beneficiaries of this walk are determined to eliminate that awful statistic.  They need your help in this mission.
