I am a mother of three children who are all selflessly
giving themselves to
service. One a nurse, a doctor in the making, and our
Marine son. I never
imagined I would be a Marine parent. When our son
announced he was
enlisting in the Marines we were pretty clueless about
all the processes
and procedures. I discovered the Marine Parents
organization pretty early
on in his bootcamp phase. What an amazing support group.
Any
questions I had were answered quickly from the
organization. The support
it gives by assisting Marines and their parents while
stateside and
deployed is so important. We have been so blessed to
have the ability to
travel to see our son while he was in boot and MCT, but
there are others
that are not as fortunate. Marine Parents is there to
help in many of those
situations. I had run the MCM in 2009 and have run
several half
marathons in the past years. I had always said , ‘one
and done’ on my full
marathon days, but now I have a purpose this time in
running the
marathon. Please consider a small donation to Team
Marine Parents so
they can continue the fabulous work they do.
