Welcome to the 2nd Annual Hunter's Fight Duathlon/Triathlon / 5K

Hunter Dyer was born with Heart Disease. During what should have been a fairly easy, though invasive, surgery to correct some of his issues, he suffered a heart attack... at 4 months of age. He survived 3.5 months of life support and is now a thriving 18 month ball of energy. Our family has so many people to thank for getting him where he continues to get the best treatment. This event will raise money for those charities that helped us, and other military charities. It's time to give back, and pay it forward at the same time!

Hunter's Fight is a virtual triathlon/duathon/5K created for anyone that wants to participate. This fun and interactive challenge is one of the most rewarding ways you can give back, and your body would agree! The winner of each division will receive a medal from RuckPack (picture soon)! This year we will be selling event T-shirts directly from this site, and they will be shipped to you within 2-3 days from ordering. T-shirt profits will go to the charity as well.

Now for the best part: The top fundraiser will get a trip for two to come spend a weekend with Hunter (and his parents). Hearing and learning about Hunter's life is very motivational. But it's nothing like witnessing it with your own eyes and spending time with him. Don't get left behind!

The SHIRTS have arrived. Please click HERE to view and order this years shirts!

Charities Involved:

• NSW Foundation: The Naval Special Warfare Foundation's mission is to provide educational and motivational support, promote health and welfare programs for the Naval Special Warfare Community, and perpetuate the history and heritage of the U.S. Naval Commandos.
• Semper Fi Fund: The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit set up to provide immediate financial support for injured and critically ill members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. We direct urgently needed resources to post 9-11 Marines and Sailors, as well as members of the Army, Air Force or Coast Guard who serve in support of Marine forces. 
• Hunter Dyer Foundation: A small percentage (less than 5%) of this year's donations will help to start the Hunter Dyer Foundation. This foundation will help military families who face challenges like ours and to navigate the daunting task of receiving full Tricare benefits. We will educate (in person if need be), guide, and in some cases financially support them while the 'kinks' in Tricare paperwork are fixed. We all know a family that didn't receive some benefit they deserved because they were lost in the paperwork shuffle. Our children shouldn't suffer or receive less than adequate care because of this, and the Hunter Dyer Foundation will minimize these cases.
