    Symbolism of the “Mogadishu Mile”
    *You cover a total distance of one mile. Even though the soldiers actually walked between 2.5 and 3 miles depending on their starting point, it has become known as a “mile”. You carry your KB during the run to symbolize the gear the soldiers carried.
    *19 reps – one honoring each soldier of Task Force Ranger killed during the battle and the day after.
    *Ground to overhead – as the soldiers held up their rifles the entire time
    *Squats – as they sought cover behind anything available
    *Push-ups – as they fell to the ground and had to get back up
    *Don’t let the KB go – symbolic for the dedication the soldiers showed towards their creed to ‘not leave a man behind

    We stand together to break the silence and normalize the conversation surrounding all mental illness and suicide through collaboration, awareness, and intervention. We hope that you will join us in our fight to end the societal stigma surrounding mental illness and suicide.Our brothers and sisters in the military, Veterans, Law Enforcement, and First Responder communities often carry a burden that makes them want to leave us behind. Physical discomfort often subsides with rest and Motrin, but emotional pain isn’t always as easily remedied. The Let’s Walk It Out march is a 222-mile journey from Fayetteville to Camp Lejeune and back that will push the body physically in an effort to mimic the mental strain our nation’s best sometimes endure silently. A life of service can leave its mark. But together we can impress upon our heroes they are not alone. Let’s Walk It Out.
