22 veterans a day lose their fight to silence. The weight of that loss is heavier than the soaked jeans I just swam a mile in—because the battle doesn’t end on the field. I’m racing two Ironman 70.3s (Madison & Massachusetts) in jeans to raise money for @22Mohawks, who helped me carry my own weight. I’ve dared greatly, failed, and I’m still living the ‘what ifs’—but I’m still here. You could lay down right now and watch everyone else do the work you should be doing. Quit. Sulk. Give up and feel sorry for yourself. Or you could channel it. Buy jeans or donate directly at the link in my bio. #itsjustabrokenback #ironmaninjeans #veteransupport #onelegatatime
