About Patriot Challenge

It started with one soldier and one objective: to raise awareness.
Patriot Challenge began more than ten years ago when Army Ranger Cory Smith ran 565 miles from Fort Benning, Georgia, to his home in Indianapolis, Indiana, with the intent to bring awareness to the transitioning difficulties many service members face.
Cory sought to be the physical embodiment of challenges facing transitioning service members as they enter civilian life. Moved by Cory’s determination to raise awareness, GallantFew established the awareness and fitness event Run Ranger Run, now Patriot Challenge.
GallantFew’s Patriot Challenge is a nationwide tribute to Cory’s inspirational advocacy. Each February, the military community links arms with civilian patriots across America in honor of Cory’s commitment to ONE mission – to support and raise funds so that any veteran or service member can receive one-on-one mentorship to live a life full of hope and purpose. It is our belief that a veteran with a purpose strengthens a nation and that a successful transition and reintegration require community engagement.
🗞️ For the past few months I, the Founder of Twin Rotors Mission, have had the express honor to engage with a group of Veteran Army Rangers to tackle the task of Operation Karl. This friendly, covert mission was organized to discover the best way to recognize Ranger Karl Monger at our event, “Let Freedom Ring.” Over the years he has counseled countless veterans, spoken with numerous organizations, helped to save lives and build a community through his organization, GallantFew. 👊In true Patriot Challenge form, a trajectory azimuth was determined. After discussion and careful planning, our team executed the mission flawlessly by dedicating a room in his honor at the Ranger Outreach Center in Columbus, GA. We consider the outcome was a great success touching his heart ❤️in the same way of which he has touched ours. It has been rewarding to earn the respect of such an elite group of men and women. We are grateful he was able to be our guest speaker! We look forward to continuing our work together in the veteran and first responder community. 🇺🇸👊 Rangers Lead the Way! #twinrotorsmission #trm2023 #fightthegoodfight #letfreedomring #operationcamaraderie #equinetherapy #youthgametherapy #creativeartstherapy #lifecoaching #rebootrecovery #weloveourveterans❤️ #weloveourfirstresponders❤️ #rangersleadtheway #RLTW #gallantfew #runrangerrun #PatriotChallenge #rangeroutreachcenter

#PatriotChallenge Training Update
This is a smile that says THANK F*CK that’s over. Todays run was a steaming pile of 💩. I’m not surprised either. I’ve moved into a new phase of lifting so I’m slightly sore. And I’ve been slacking on my mobility 🙈.
The first quarter of this training cycle is almost done and I gotta say, it didn’t start off the way I had planned. 10 days of no running / activity because of a cold that turned into a sinus infection wasn’t the best way to kick things off but what can you do 🤷🏻♀️.
I’ve learned to roll with the punches and adapt. I may be a little behind schedule but that’s ok. I’ve still got 13 weeks to put in some solid work 👊🏻.
I will likely have to reevaluate my goals for the RBC Run for the kids. I thought I might be able to get under 21 minutes but I’m not so sure anymore.
Speaking of which, I am getting absolutely clobbered in the fundraising department by gkennedy1966 😑. I’m at $585 and he’s at around $850. Sooooo, if you want to donate to a worthy cause and help me catch up the link is in my bio 😃.
Also I’m not one to wish summer away but I’m done with the humidity. Even my shins were sweating this morning 😑😑. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻for some cooler temps soon!
Who’s with me?

It`s #FeatureFriday, and we`re shining our spotlight on Philadelphia Marathon Weekend Brand Ambassador Lauren Seserko (she/her) from Baltimore, MD! 🎉
Lauren is a passionate athlete: "I`m a 10x marathoner and have run every distance from a 5K to a 50K with everything in between. I work as an acute care occupational therapist at a hospital, and spend the rest of my time running, hanging out with my cat & enjoying good food and beers with friends. I grew up very close to Philadelphia & my very first half marathon was there, so running the Philadelphia Marathon Weekend brings back good memories and feels like coming home. You can`t beat the energy of Philly!"
Lauren is gearing up for the 2023 Patriot Challenge, taking part in both the Rothman Ortho 8K and the Dietz and Watson Philadelphia Half Marathon. We can`t wait to see her crush it this season! Let`s support her journey breathedeeplyandsmile (OR, on Twitter: @ BreatheBlog)
