The competition raises money for the Wounded Warrior Project and is a physical adventure challenge that promotes teamwork and camaraderie. This is something they have chosen to do on their own, without sponsorship or monetary help for any expenses incurred.
Chris and Josh are former Navy servicemen, hence the team name they’ve chosen: the “Idaho Squids.” They are looking forward to tackling the obstacle courses which are designed to test all-around strength, stamina and mental grit, qualities that surely served them well while they were enlisted men.
If you are interested in donating to the Wounded Warrior Project as a gesture of support for one or both of these veterans, please go to the following website to contribute in their name: http://www.eventbrite.com/teams/idaho-squids/564093 click on the “Donate Now” link under either of their names.
If you have any questions about Chris and Josh’s adventure, or wish to extend either of them words of support and encouragement, please send an e-mail to them in care of: jstuart@nightforceoptics.com.
