In the fall of 2016, as an ambassador of the 31 Heroes Project, I had the honor of representing fallen US Navy SEAL SO1 William Blake Marston with a cross country bicycle ride. With the generosity of many corporate and private donors, WBMTT was a 29 day mission between west and east coast Naval bases that raised over $31,000, honored Blake's spirit for challenge and giving, and helped his family heal from a great loss. The humbling experience and Blake's continued inspiration has motivated me to seek opportunities to support Blake's mission and the teammates that meant so much to him. These three events meet that criteria. The first annual Boston Frogman swim supports the Navy SEAL Foundation, which I can attest to providing incredible support to Gold Star Families. The swim will take place eerily close to where Blake came home in a flag-draped casket. The third annual Swim With a Mission is a great event and is well attended by SEAL Team guys, and the swim takes place in Blake's father's home town. Lastly Blake was a NH boy to the core who spent a fair bit of time on Mt. Washington. My son Conner and I will be doing the bicycle hillclimb race together and we will be proudly wearing our WBMTT bicycle jerseys.
