Hey all, welcome to my fundraising page to support Team Rubicon (I know it says Active Heroes- but it's a split bag for the event) on July 4, for the Hump Day Hump!

On Independence Day, I will be ruck marching 10 miles on July 4th while carrying a lot of weight (50lbs). I'll also be listening to  Bill Pullman's Independence Day speech on repeat the whole time, while screaming Marine sayings at passing children and families and tweeting their responses.  Help me motivate some civilians and raise money for some great causes. 

I've spent the last year helping student veterans to continue their service and there is no organization I'm more honored to support than Team Rubicon.  So I'm throwing on the weight vest and shouldering a load to help TR support their mission of empowering vets while saving the world. Founded in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti, when veterans and medical professionals traveled to remote locations on the island to provide medical and humanitarian relief.  Since then, they have grown to over 3,000 volunteers and have performed over 24 missions domestically and around the world.  TR bridges the gap for not only natural disasters, but also in reintegrating veterans back into their communities. Want to learn more about them? Check out their site at www.teamrubiconusa.org or watch this video of them serving around the globe: http://vimeo.com/28621922

Want to join me on this march?! Email me at geoffball213@gmail.com and come join the fun as I walk from SE DC to Georgetown along the Anacostia riverwalk.

Your donation will be equally shared between two Veteran ran 501(c)(3) charities: Active Heroes  and Team Rubicon.  The process is fast, easy, and secure. I truly appreciate any support you can provide. 

If you can't make a donation at this point, help me reach my goal by sharing this page on Facebook and Twitter!
Or, even better, send an e-mail to friends you think might be interested in contributing and include a link to my page!

Semper Fi,

Geoff Ball
