Bataan Death March Memorial Marathon


J participated in the Bataan Death March Memorial Marathon Ruck March.  He marched, ran and walked with a 35 lb ruck sack on his back for 26.2 miles to honor the POWs who , during WWII, endured horrific treatment by the Jabanese in the Philippines.  J said there were times he wanted to quit, but kept perservering.  He was able to experience, in part, what Soldiers endured during their long forced trek through the Philippines.

The best I ever did was a 20 mile hike, and by the way we walked the whole way. Jessie, you are awesome.
