IAFF Local 2687 Members compete in Tough Mudder New England!!!

Several members participated and successfully completed the Tough Mudder event held at Mount Snow, Vermont on Saturday, May 5th, 2012. 

The event is a hardcore 10-12 mile obstacle course designed by British Special Forces to test your all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. As the leading company in the booming obstacle course industry, Tough Mudder has already challenged half a million inspiring participants worldwide and raised more than $2 million dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project. But Tough Mudder is more than an event, it’s a way of thinking. By running a Tough Mudder challenge, you’ll unlock a true sense of accomplishment, have a great time, and discover camaraderie with your fellow participants that’s experienced all too rarely these days.*

Tough Mudder is a proud supporter of the Wounded Warrior Project. To date, Tough Mudder participants have raised approximately $3 million to support thousands of warriors returning from the battlefield.

Every dollar raised is well spent

• Providing combat stress recovery programs
• Adaptive sports programs
• Benefits counseling
• Employment services

…and these are only a few examples of the programs offered to our injured veterans! These programs and services aid in brave Americans’ transition from service-connected injury to civilian life.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR TOUGH MUDDERS!!!
