There are a few charities that support vets, drivers, and their family’s well-being. These charities are changing lives each and every day. Please donate here!
Let Vets know that they have an army behind them. Mission 22 delivers a Recovery + Resiliency treatment program for Veterans and their spouses that combines principles of human healing with modern science.
The introductory course, R+R Elements, is a free virtual self-guided 28-day program open to everyone interested in science-based wellness (civilians included). They also offer long-term intensive programs for combat Veterans, those who were injured and could not deploy, and those who have experienced MST, and spouses of Veterans.
R+R teaches how wounds can turn into our greatest weapons against hopelessness. This program is the vision of the founder, Magnus Johnson, who is a Green Beret, three-tour combat veteran. Please donate below.

St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund helps over-the-road/regional semi-truck drivers and their families when an illness or injury has recently caused them to be out of work. Donations help with rent/mortgage, utilities, vehicle payments, and insurance. The SCF provides all applicants with information on how to negotiate price reductions with medical providers and hospitals. We normally do NOT pay medical bills.
Other programs that we help with include a CDC-approved Diabetes Prevention Program, smoking cessation, health challenges, and free flu, shingles, and pneumonia vaccines. Please donate below.

truckersfinalmile.org is an IRS 501(c)(3) recognized charity, designed to reunite truck drivers and their families in the event of a loss of life, debilitating injury, serious illness, crisis at home, or the need to make mobility improvements at a driver’s home.
truckersfinalmile.org was founded by a 38 year over the road veteran. Their ultimate and primary goal is to reunite truck drivers and their families in times of crisis. There are countless instances of drivers being abandoned by their company, families always short of funds, and horror stories of frustration and anger in times of grief. Let’s keep supporting our essential drivers by donating to truckersfinalmile.org. Please donate below.

What Drivers Are Saying About Past Challenges
I came across Fit to Pass and saw the first fitness challenge. I’ve come a long way; after entering the challenge, I went from 220lbs to 202lbs! I do 20 step-ups, 10 squats, and 10 push-ups. Thank you, Fit to Pass, for having these challenges; I can’t wait until the next one.
—Elizabeth Pickett
I needed something to help me get motivated to actually work out again. I came across an email with the Fit to Pass Push-up challenge. That was all I needed. The challenge deadline had me motivated. I have kept training in my spare time, waiting for the next challenge.
— Nicole Patterson
The Fit to Pass competitions has been an awesome opportunity for me. It has raised my fitness level; I participated in the push-up contest; I love the program’s opportunities, which allow professional truck drivers to access healthy information and motivational exercises.
— Attila Gyorfi
The Fit to Pass competitions has been a great motivator for me. Getting me to train every day for the six weeks has been rewarding itself, and the prizes are a big plus. Thank you to the sponsors who make these competitions happen.
