The S.O.S. Run is for the soldiers that put their lives on the line everyday so that we may live a better life. This Run is to thank them, support them, and let them know that their sacrifices are not taken for granted.

This year, at request of our soldiers, all monies will be donated to the Fort Bragg MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation), instead of care packages.   Through the MWR, ALL soldiers will be able to benefit from the money we raise through the Run.   According to our guys (and gals), the MWR is the ONLY source of "fun" or shall we say "normalcy" that they have over there.   

The Run will be held on July 5, 2008 at the Outlaw BBQ on RT. 1 in Foxboro, Massachusetts (rain date July 6). But, you don't have to ride to come join us and show your support for these brave men and women. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact us at sosrun@aol.com
