Candidate Hammons to Run For the Children of Fallen Soldiers
Unity Party 2nd Congressional District Candidate Bill Hammons
will be running across portions of the Second District this
weekend to raise money for the Children of Fallen Soldiers
Relief Fund. The Fund is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit
organization whose website can be found at www.cfsrf.org.
"As the son of a career Army officer and Vietnam veteran, I've
seen the long-term consequences of combat and what war can do
to soldiers and their families," says Hammons. "The only
'veteran' label that applies to me is that of 'veteran
long-distance runner,' but I'll be more than happy to put my
running to use for veterans and their families this Saturday
and Sunday, as I wait to hear back from the Secretary of
State's office regarding my candidacy petition. I'll be
personally donating $2 for every mile I run to the Relief
Fund, and I encourage others to make a similar or greater
pledge.
"After a hearty Saturday 8am breakfast at the Walnut Cafe in
my hometown of Boulder, my buddies and I will be headed out
to the western edge of both Eagle County and the Second
District. I'll start running east through the District at
around noon, and will keep running til it's time to call it
a run, whenever and wherever that might be."
