TMPs' Matt Parker and Marianne Tullis at the Bataan Memorial Death March
Matt Parker and Marianne Tullis completed the Bataan Memorial Death March on Sunday, March 20, 2016. "There is a reason they give you 13 hours to finish!" Marianne said.
Matt tackled the full marathon with his youngest sister, Jill, while Marianne did the half plus (14.2 miles) with Matt's oldest sister, Vicki.
"We are all four race veterans, but this was the most grueling...but most rewarding race ever!" Marianne said.
"The opening ceremony was very moving...as we reflected on what American military personnel (Marines from Corregidor were in the POW camps) and Filipinos endured [on Bataan]...we saluted them all!"
Thank you Marianne and Matt for completing this event on behalf of TMP and raising funds for the outreach programs of MarineParents.com, Inc.!
