- Chris Kristian emphasized that although the mission motivating their participation in the race is deeply important, the team remains fully committed to competing and achieving victory, noting that previous initiatives have successfully increased awareness and encouraged more at-risk veterans to seek assistance through the heightened visibility the event provides.
- This joint effort exemplifies how veteran-led initiatives like TWG’s race participation and AWP’s partnerships aim to improve veterans’ quality of life and reduce suicide through trusted relationships and proactive community service.
