The Run for Ukraine project aims to support the rehabilitation of military personnel and veterans by providing additional motivation. It also seeks to honor the memory of fallen soldiers, unite veterans of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with their U.S. counterparts, strengthen veteran bonds, promote socialization, and facilitate the exchange of experiences in treatment and rehabilitation for emotional and physical recovery.
Soldier Field 10 is held in Chicago in honor of Memorial Day, paying tribute to fallen U.S. soldiers.
Team members will run to express gratitude to the U.S. for its strong support of Ukraine and to stand in solidarity with U.S. veterans in the shared fight for freedom, democracy, and human rights worldwide!
