Carry The Load Memorial May 2023 sponsored by American Airlines
The Freedom Mobility Foundation is honored and excited for our second year as a non-profit partner of the Carry The Load Memorial May Campaign. All monies donated through this Freedom Mobility Team Page will go directly back to the Foundation after the Memorial Day event at Reverchon Park in Dallas, TX on Monday, May 29th. We also thank American Airlines for being the Official Airline of Freedom Mobility Foundation. Their support helps our dollars raised go farther!!
This year we are fundraising for retired veteran Pete Way. Pete was injured while on a combat operation in Afghanistan in 2003 when a vehicle in front of him was hit by an IED. Pete rushed to assist a soldier who had become trapped and ended up injuring his own leg from shrapnel in the process. This injury caused him to eventually need an above the knee amputation, and he is still to this day suffering from infections from the injury. Pete is an avid athlete and has started a program to encourage veterans to take part in sports to help them stay positive even with injuries.
