COVID 19 - UPDATE Good Evening Freedom For Fighters Friends, In light of the recent coronavirus outbreak and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) Guidelines to limit events over 50 people, we have decided to reach out and share an update on the status of the Freedom for Fighter’s June 20, 2020 Event. This storm in life wanted to force us to cancel our event, but it cannot force us to cancel our cause! For that reason, we are even more determined to provide freedom for all who fight the hidden battle of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and/or Depression, with extra focus this year on those who are crushed in spirit as a result of the coronavirus outbreak (victims, mourning families and friends, and those on the front lines – our health care providers)! The Freedom For Fighters 5K Walk/Run will look different this year in that it will be virtual! This allows us to spread the message of hope to the world, so please share on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and other social media platforms! This year, Freedom For Fighters will provide 55 days to complete the 5K Walk/Run. This change will allow us to more easily honor the CDC Guidelines and still be able to support the cause. The Barney family is choosing the number 55 because this was their son, Jason Barney’s football/baseball number. Jason was an Afghan war veteran who suffered from PTSD and Depression. Jason’s passing at the young age of 26 was the inspiration for Freedom For Fighters. No one should suffer in silence! The participants will walk/run a 5K (or 3.1 miles) at their own time, day, and location of choosing between the dates of Monday, May 25, 2020 which is Memorial Day and Saturday, July 18, 2020, equaling 55 DAYS! We are choosing to start the Walk/Run on Memorial Day as a way of honoring the veterans and families who made the ultimate sacrifice to fight for our freedom! Once you have completed your walk/run, we are asking that you please post a picture and tag the Freedom for Fighters Facebook page so that we can celebrate in your accomplishments together. Additionally, the Barney Family will be sharing an online message of hope on June 20, 2020. Details will be presented in the weeks to come. You may register for the cause HERE The cost is $25.00. A t-shirt is included (please stay tuned for our new t-shirt design and color). We are providing the option to have shirts shipped directly to participants for an additional $7.00. More details on shirt pick-ups for local participants will be provided at a later date. We know that many people have recently been financially affected due to the coronavirus outbreak. We do not want unemployment to stop anyone from participating! If you are unemployed and still want a shirt, please send us a private message over our Facebook page or our Freedom For Fighters Web Site. Our vision is to remind those who are crushed in spirit, that they are never alone! For that reason, proceeds will go to charitable organizations supporting veterans, first responders, abuse victims and ultimately, the construction of a healing home! Yes, a healing home! We are believing in a greater plan to one day construct a healing home that will provide whole healing to the heart, soul, and mind of those who are crushed in spirit. We will reveal more as the plan unfolds. We want to encourage our participants from years past and even this year to please share personal testimonies of how F4F has helped you to receive healing! Your testimony may help save someone! You may share your personal testimonies to: F4F TESTIMONIES We look forward to hearts being healed in 2020 and years to come! May we continue to band together in faith and pursue the fight to free those crushed in spirit! Sincerely, The Barney Family FREEDOM FOR FIGHTERS www.freedomforfighters.com |
