Fisjer House Fund Raiser for Wounded Warriors and Families

[Manly Warrior]

Dear Friends and Colleagues;

An opportunity to help wounded warriors and their families presents itself today. Please consider sponsoring an effort by a young Soldier on behalf of Wounded Warriors of all military branches.

Army Captain Michael Pariso, an acquaintance of mine currently stationed here at Fort Leonard Wood, has decided to give of himself in this cause by running a charity 5K event along with his daughter on behalf of the Fisher House Foundation (http://www.fisherhouse.org/).

When a US Warrior is seriously wounded or injured and faces long term recovery and rehabilitation, they are sent to major military medical centers appropriate for their care needs. Families are not likely to be close by and the cost of attending to their recovering Warrior is quite out of reach financially. Fisher House provides low or no cost lodging for immediate family members.

Captain Pariso, a past Army Engineer unit executive officer in Afghanistan, having had Soldiers seriously wounded, knows the cost and hardship wounded warriors families endure during the long road to recovery. Fisher House Foundation provides inestimable support during such times.

While you can donate directly to the Fisher House, I would request that you follow the below link and donate through Captain Pariso's (and his young daughter's) effort. Or, do both!

I urge you to donate to this fine organization on behalf of all our Wounded and Recovering Warriors and thier families through Michael's fund raising effort.

(Managers and Leaders-I would ask you to forward this within your organizations and to colleagues as well-within your organizational constraints of course)

Respectfully;

Manly Warrior Major, USA (Ret)

Bump.
