WE NEED YOU&nbsp;&nbsp;to join us for our 7th Annual Warriors Walk Ruck March on Saturday,&nbsp;September 19, 2026. We know that your weekend is probably busy, but OUR VETERANS NEED US NOW! The event is free, or you can donate. Create a team and have people sponsor you for how far you walk.&nbsp;&nbsp; Please remember that many Veterans will not be able to march that day!&nbsp; 
<figure><img src="https://cdn20.patchcdn.com/users/3443549/20260830/113807/ruck-march___30113806463.jpg" id="Ruck March.png" data-image="Ruck March.png"></figure>

The Warrior’s Walk
The Warrior’s Walk is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation based in Illinois, uniting a network of VFWs, American Legions, businesses, and schools throughout the Chicago area. Together, we are dedicated to ending Veteran suicide and raising awareness of the mental health challenges faced by our nation’s heroes. 
 
Founded in 2019 by Ryan Brazel, the Warrior’s Walk has been proudly supported by the Harry E. Anderson VFW Post #9545 and has grown exponentially. 
 
In 2024, the Thomas E. Hartung American Legion Post #1977 transitioned from a lead supporter to a contributing partner, playing a pivotal role as we grew into an independent organization. 
 
With the support of our community, we are determined to make a lasting impact on Veteran suicide. Together, we can work toward a brighter future for those who have served.

About the March

Making a Difference
The Warriors Walk supports Veterans and their families by raising funds for essential mental health care. Every dollar raised through fundraising, events, sponsorships, and partnerships goes to organizations that promote positive mental health for Veterans.
Our Commitment to Veterans
We collaborate with organizations that provide accessible, stigma-free mental health services for Veterans, Service Members, and their families. These organizations offer:
* Free and affordable therapy sessions tailored to trauma treatment.
* Ongoing access to mental health care through in-person and telehealth services.
* Personalized support through a network of experienced mental health professionals.
By participating in The Warriors Walk, you directly contribute to life-changing mental health services for those who have served our country.
Sponsor or donate
Create a Team and have friends sponsor you for every mile you walk. Check with your workplace to see if they will match the donations you raise. Remember, we are a 501c(3) not-for-profit corporation
