The Beginning...

Our beloved 2/7 Marines and Sailors are on their way to make yet another difference, this time in Afghanistan. It was just a few short months ago that we welcomed them home from Iraq. Now we can start counting down the days until our Husbands, Fathers, Sons, Brothers, Nephews, Cousins will be back on our soil in our loving arms.

This deployment we have a great way to stay connected with our Marines and Sailors, stay in shape, and get outdoors... we are going to run to Afghanistan (and hopefully back!)...

Join me, as well as, many other 2/7 Spouses, Families, and Friends in walking, running, biking, and or swimming the miles to Afghanistan. It is approximately 7,900 miles from the Los Angeles area to Kandahar, Afghanistan. No one person could do this alone in seven months; so collectively as a Marine Corps family- let's do it together!

Please e-mail RantoAfghanistan08@gmail.com for a Registration form. Once completed, start moving! A monthly e-mail will be sent to remind you to send in your mileage for the month- please include any pictures you have of yourself taking those steps! Shirts will also be made so if you are interested in purchasing, let me know. This blog will be updated with the progress we are making so be sure to bookmark it!

Thank you for making the run with me.

Come home safe Marines!
