Name: Master Sgt. Troy Drasher
In order to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project, Drasher ran 720 miles from Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado, to Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. In doing so, he raised more than $13,000 and inspired many people across several states, even gaining national media attention for such a feat. The journey took him 30 days to complete and was the equivalent of 480 Air Force physical fitness tests.
MSgt Drasher had 720 reasons to quit and one reason to keep going–total focus on achieving his goal.
