I am a 66-year-old Army Vet and West Point graduate, member of Class of ’72. As a veteran, I want to help our injured veterans and their families. To do this, I am raising donations for Fisher House Foundation, which provides free housing for injured Veterans and their families near VA hospitals. Fisher House also has scholarship programs for military wives and children.
To increase publicity and funding for Fisher House Foundation, on March 4th I will be attempting to lift 200 tons of weight in 2 hours. As a point of reference, one record for timed weight lifting is 118 tons in an hour. As this record holder is 20 years younger than me, I am lowering the amount to 100 tons per hour, but extending the time to 2 hours, for a total of 200 tons.
My website is http://www.200TonsForVets.
Please check this out and consider donating. Also please feel free to email the website link to friends and share it on Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. to garner more support for this worthy cause. Injured veterans and their families will benefit greatly from your support of Fisher House, whose goal is to have loved ones present so they can support their veterans during difficult times.
Thank you for your donations and support, and for sharing this project with others.
Sincerely,
James Frick, USMA '72
Approved Fisher House Foundation Supporter
