coordinating the Bike-Run-Walk since its inception 10 years ago.

community members to enjoy the outdoors and changing scenery, while also raising
funds for local veteran care,” Fortin said. “We are proud to support such a necessary
cause.”

the Stars & Stripes Bike-Run-Walk.

and our generous sponsors for supporting local veterans being treated through the
