#WeeklyWord is released as it comes to me. In the Marine Corps, we always talk about needing to 'get the word' from the Sergeant or the Commander. Well, I would like to build on this concept in a thought provoking video post. I promise to keep these under 5 minutes and my intent is to provide value, to get you thinking, to inspire or to motivate you to make a difference and be an advocate for what or who matters the most to you in your life.

In addition to ensuring everyone can experience endurance events, Ainsley's Angels of America's aim is to build awareness about the special need's community. Inclusion for all is achieved by promoting awareness, providing education, and participating as active members in local communities. Joined by passion for the mission, local support will inspire global actions. Act locally, think globally. Together we shall!

Every Tuesday, we spotlight one of our amazing partners across the Nation. We are very grateful for the work being done by The Travis Manion Foundation and are grateful for our partnership with them. Marine Corps Lieutenant Travis Manion said before his second and final deployment to Iraq “if not me, then who?” He was killed in action in Iraq, yet today his ethos continues to ring loudly across America. We are so honored to be able to couple Travis’ legacy with Ainsley’s legacy and our ethos of “Together, We Shall!” to demonstrate the amazing beauty that yields from bridging gaps and working together. Together, we shall continue to make an impact in all of our communities. We’re excited to see what the futures holds!

Hazard Ground - EP. 232 – KIM “ROOSTER” ROSSITER (MARINE/AINSLEY’S ANGELS)

Kim “Rooster” Rossiter is a retired Marine Corps Major and combat veteran of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. His story is tightly interwoven with his daughter Ainsley’s, who was born with a terminal illness in 2003. Instead of shirking from the difficult task of facing Ainsley’s inevitable fate, Rooster and his wife embraced it to ensure Ainsley lived every moment of her time on earth. The Rossiter’s eventually started Ainsley’s Angels in honor of Ainsley. Ainsley’s Angels builds awareness about America’s special needs community, and aims to ensure everyone can experience endurance events, something that always put a smile on Ainsley’s face. Hear this powerful story of combat and survival, both on the battlefield and at home, on our latest edition of HAZARD GROUND!

Ainsley’s Angels strives to make marathons for people of all abilities

“Whenever the wind hit her face it was an amazing, uplifting experience and I saw that and I knew immediately I was going to become a runner for her so I could run with her. And go out and have a blast doing it,” Rossiter said.

Louisiana Marathon volunteers give disabled individuals 'our legs for the day'

“It gives him something to participate in,” Buddy’s mother, Miranda, said. “It allows him to be an athlete. For a kid who uses a wheelchair and can’t walk on his own, this is a big deal.”

On this #TogetherWeShall Tuesday, a little trip down memory lane to celebrate our amazing partnership with The Louisiana Marathon. Hundreds of Angel teams have rolled through downtown #batonrouge and the LSU Campus since our 2014 proof of concept team. Followed by the 2015 construction reroute to the 2016 30°/30 mph-between-buildings wind gusts to the 2019 monsoon to the 2021 COVID delay to March! We are grateful and excited to reunite this weekend! ... SEE MORESEE LESS
