Driven by a Deeply Personal Mission: The Orlando Silkies Ruck transcends physical endurance, embodying a heartfelt commitment to prevent veteran and first responder suicide and nurture a support network for those who've valiantly served. Sisters and co-founders of Florida4Warriors, Tamara Sugar and Terri Lynn Sugar-Robinson, were propelled into action by the tragic loss of a dear family friend, a combat veteran. "That loss was our wake-up call," Tamara reflects. "It underscored the urgent need for a robust, supportive community for our veterans and first responders—a community we're determined to build through Florida4Warriors, fueled by volunteerism and a collective resolve to combat veteran suicide."

Terri Lynn adds, "Our march is more than just a physical challenge; it's a journey towards healing. We're here to forge a network filled with hope and unwavering support for our heroes, ensuring they never feel alone in their battles."

Why Silkies?: The choice of silkies for the ruck march is more than a whimsical decision; it symbolizes the blend of seriousness and lightheartedness that characterizes our approach to tackling the challenges faced by veterans and frontline first responders. It's about breaking down barriers, encouraging smiles, and building camaraderie.
