HERO RUSH
Have you heard of HERO RUSH? Hero Rush is the Firefighting Themed obstacle course that encourages health and fitness. Some of you may have heard of a mud run or similar events. However, Hero Rush is about what we do as Firefighters and part of their proceeds benefits the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation! Participants can have a great time while supporting a great cause.
Hero Rush will be coming to the Midwest several times this summer. Most notably Marshall Michigan on June 2 2012. Not only is this email to let you know about the event, but we are also looking for volunteers. About 150 volunteers are needed at each event. This helps keep cost low and more funds going to the NFFF!
