Special Operations Warrior Foundation
Hey,
My brother is a Midshipman at the Naval Academy and is planning on running the Arrowhead 135 to honor fallen Special Operators from all services and their families. On February 2, 2009, he will be running 135 miles in -20F to -40F in northern Minnesota, pulling a sled with all his food and gear. He and his buddy are trying to raise $10,000 for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. So far they have raised $1,900. The foundation gives money to the families of Special Operations personnel who were killed in combat or in training. The majority of the money goes to the children so they have the opportunity to go to college. My brother has a website explaining the race and foundation. The website is www.firstgiving.com/arrowhead135 and if you would like to just check it out or even make a donation, I would really appreciate it. Anything helps, and it is for a great cause. Thank you.
-Reid Tonking

Apparently, that is the acronym used, anyway.
