The primary objective of Meghan’s Foundation is to create awareness and develop programs of yoga and meditation to support our war veterans experiencing symptoms of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Holly Barbera Freed (a friend and committee member of the foundation) and her sister Courtney Barbera are running a 10K race on July 4 at the 34th Annual Revolutionary Run at Washington Crossing State Park, PA.
The fundraiser has been entered into the http://www.crowdrise.com/RunningForMeghansFoundation Veterans Charity Challenge, a fundraising campaign launched by craigconnects (founded by Craig Newmark of craigslist). The veterans-related charity that raises the most through 12pm ET on July 3 will win a Challenge prize of $20,000 from craigconnects!
