Hike for our Heroes $5 million challenge

TaraTodd — Sun, 29 May 2011 19:57:52 +0000

When Iraq War veteran Troy Yocum returned from Deployment, he had just one thing on his mind: hike 7000 miles across America to raise $5 million for Military families. So the Hike for our Heroes was born.

Across America traveling with Troy is his support crew made up of his wife Mareike, Harley the joking Chihuahua, and “Emmie the super dog”

Already Troy has travelled to the west coast and back.
Once all the way to the east coast in Boston Troy will once again turn westward and hike home to Louisville, KY. The 7880 mile round trip ends back where the first step was taken at the Louisville Slugger Museum.

The Hike for our Heroes began on April 17th 2010 and is set to end his 7000 mile walk on September 3rd of 2011

MISSION: Is to further spread the word that our American Heroes are fighting just as hard at home as they do overseas. We hope to provide a peace of mind and lay the foundation for military families in need to succeed. Troy will literally put one foot in front of the other, crossing the great states of America to reach people and help spread the importance of helping our military families. Our goal is to raise the needed $5 million for these families!

Troy will carry with him custom Louisville Slugger Bats that he hopes to get signed by Mayors, Governors, and people of importance in-order to get a National Day for Deployed Soldiers.

The Spirit Of Nashville

Angela — Wed, 05 May 2010 15:34:47 +0000

This morning, Good Morning America simply mentioned (in one sentence) that the waters were receding and people were moving back into their homes in Nashville. The report was less than 30 seconds in length. Nashville, and the surrounding counties, have experienced what is being described as a 1000 year flood. Homes, businesses, and historic landmarks have been inundated. People are living in emergency shelters.

….Lives have been lost.

We are being asked to cut our water use in 1/2 because one of the two treatment plants has been flooded.

My family has been blessed in that our homes were spared, however I would like to share a personal story with you. On Monday, I managed to get into work. I work for the State government, and we were all asked to come in if it was safe. I had a t.v. in my office tuned into the local news when I heard a very frightening report. A viewer called in to report that Polo Park apartments was being evacuated because the water was rising. This is the apartment complex where my elderly and disabled mother lives on a ground-floor apartment. I flew out of the office and headed over there. My husband was able to contact the apartment office and told me that they might have to evacuate her by boat! When I arrived on the scene, the water in front of her apartment was up to my knees and rising. I yelled out of my window to a man standing nearby that I had a mom in a wheelchair that I needed to rescue and that I would need help. Immediately, three men appeared and said they would carry her out if necessary. We were not waiting for the boat. I had never met these young men before in my life, but they are my heroes. They managed to get my mom (and her cat) into my jeep without even getting her feet wet. They then helped me put some of her belongings up higher in hopes of keeping them dry.

This is the spirit of Nashville.

We take care of each other. I am so proud of my city, but we need help from the outside as well.

We are encouraging people to donate to the Nashville chapter of the Red Cross. www.redcross.org or the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee http://www.cfmt.org/index.php .

This Facebook post also provides a good summary of the destruction. http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=390190583466&id=5306972&ref=mf

Please consider helping any way possible. Reach out to your neighbors, reach out to those you don’t even know.

It takes but one hand….

Scott and Julie Williams founded Kaycee’s Foundation of Hope in honor of their daughter Kaycee Elizabeth Williams. Her death on September 28, 2006 was attributed to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Their total discontent with this diagnoses of exclusion gave Scott and Julie the drive to do something about SIDS. No one could tell them why Kaycee and so many other innocent babies were dying and sadly… not enough was being done about it. While they wanted the world to know Kaycee’s story, they wished not one more family would come to know their pain. They feel it’s their responsibility to honor Kaycee’s memory and help make a difference in her name.

Dealing with Grief

While going through the grieving process there will be many times that you will feel awkward: your child has died, and you have an overflow of emotions. All of your hopes and dreams for your child have come to a standstill; and now you are beginning a journey that seems uncertain, and terrifying. The feelings that you are about to feel are overwhelming and unlike any emotions you have ever felt in your life: you may feel that everything is spinning out of control and believe it or not, all of these things are to be expected. These feelings are NORMAL. Don’t beat yourself up and don’t try to suppress your emotions; holding them in only makes things worse.
