Operation Freedom Path is the mission for the 2026 50 Mile March, where we walk 50 miles in 22 hours to raise critical funds and awareness for local veterans facing homelessness, mental health struggles, and financial hardship. This isn’t just a challenge—it’s a commitment to honor and support those who have served.
🔥 Why We March:
âś… To provide housing and stability for local veterans
âś… To fund programs supporting mental health and suicide prevention
âś… To raise awareness for the ongoing struggles many veterans face
âś… To walk in honor of their service and sacrifice
Join the mission. Walk with us. Support the cause.
