WELCOME TO OUR FUNDRAISING PAGE!
Overview:
The PTSD Century Hike New England is the fifth edition of a transformative hiking series that has traversed various American landscapes, from Colorado's rugged terrain to the red rocks of Arizona, through Oklahoma's plains, and from Missouri to Kansas. This year, New England's storied paths will witness the unwavering spirit of ten military service members walking 100 miles to challenge their limits, bond over shared experiences, and symbolically march through the obstacles of PTSD.
Pairing newcomers to the event with veterans of past hikes, the five-day trek promotes peer-to-peer healing and shared growth. The hike not only serves as a beacon of awareness for PTSD but also as a fundraiser to empower those in the silent struggle after service. Through the commitment to each mile, the PTSD Century Hike New England seeks to echo the steps of strength and courage taken by service members every day.

About SEMPER FI & AMERICA’S FUND: Semper Fi & America’s Fund (The Fund) provides unique and innovative programs, which include immediate financial assistance, case management, connection, and lifetime support, to our nation's critically wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. The Fund was created by a group of military spouses who saw the need for bedside support for wounded and injured service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and immediately offered assistance to their families. Today, those same military spouses lead an extended patriotic staff of veterans, community members, and volunteers who build relationships that last a lifetime — a unique model of care among veteran service organizations.
