NaVOBA member and Iraq War Veteran Troy Yocum is hiking 7,000 miles across America, banging his drum and sounding the call to raise $5 million to help military families in need. Troy will host a Barefoot Hike for Heroes 1 mile group walk to set a new Guinness World Record in Phoenix, Ariz. on Dec. 4, 2010.
The current record is 1,141 participants. Troy and his volunteer walkers will try to get 1,200 or more people in the Phoenix area to register and walk BAREFOOT for 1 mile to set a new record. To register go to www.4peaksracing.com. Registration will start at 8 A.M. on the day of the walk, with the walk at 10 A. M. Preregistration is encouraged.
Proceeds from the event will go to help military families in the Phoenix area and along Troy’s route for the next 10 months. Troy and his Hike for our Heroes Team, Soldiers' Angels and the Arizona Department of Veterans Services will be working hand in hand to help military families.
Soldiers' Angels is a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) non-profit with over 225,000 members providing aid and comfort to the men and women of the United States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, veterans and their families.
