Fallen 48 Foundation

Who We Are - Fallen 48 Foundation

Our Vision

Our vision is to create a world where every Veteran & First Responder has access to quality training from the start of their sport of choice until competition and/or event. We believe there is a strong correlation through athleticism and mental health.

Our Annual Memorial 100 Day Run

Fallen 48 Foundation main event is the Memorial 100 Day Run. The run has gone from Richmond, VA to Washington D.C, Eastern Long Island, to Ground Zero, N.Y.C and from the original site of the Tun Tavern (birth place of the Marine Corps) in Philadelphia, P.A. to the Marine Corps Museum in Quantico, V.A. which was the longest at 175 miles! The runners are comprised of Veterans, First Responders and family members. This run was started by the Marines from 3rd Battalion, 25th Regiment who served in Iraq. During their 2005 deployment, 3/25 lost forty eight Brothers, making this one of the highest sacrifices of the Iraq War. Over Memorial Day Weekend, Veterans, First Responders and family members begin the 100 Mile relay marathon and complete it in twenty-four hours.
