Want to join us in making a difference? Our group of runners and walkers is conquering the notoriously challenging 4x4x48 challenge as a means to raise money to benefit K9s For Warriors.  This means we will be running or walking 4 miles, every 4 hours, for 48 hours straight, and any donation or sponsored miles will help make a great impact! 

More information about K9S FOR WARRIORS, INC: K9s For Warriors is dedicated to providing service canines to our Warriors suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disability, traumatic brain injury, and/or military sexual trauma as a result of military service post-9/11. Our goal is to empower them to return to civilian life with dignity and independence.

Puppies and Golf is an initiative that raises awareness and funds for K9s for Warriors in and around the golf world. K9s for Warriors is a national organization that gets 90% of their dogs from animal shelters and trains them to become service dogs for military veterans fighting PTSD post 9/11. Donations go directly to K9s for Warriors to help with the large expense of saving, training and caring for the dogs along with the ability to house the veterans for three weeks at a time as they get to know their new life companion.

Dogs are amazing animals. 

It's an incredible thing to experience and know, with absolute certainty, how important raising a puppy can be for someone going through difficult times. 

Not a day goes by where I don't think about it.  I feel lucky every day.

Bulldozer has revolutionized my life, and altered the trajectory I'll take to get where I'm going.  I'm so grateful for that.  Taking care of my puppy, sharing that bond, raising him, training him, and watching him grow has been a great way for me to find some inner peace.

That's what K-9's For Warriors does.  They pair veterans of war suffering from PTSD, TSI, or MST with a puppy, which then they help train into legit military service dogs.  What a kick ass concept.  They help their dog grow and learn, and in return their puppies do the same for them.  It's a beautiful thing.

I have no experience with war - make no mistake about that - but I've fought my own mental battles just the same, and I believe in what this great non-profit is doing.  I believe in the power of their process, and how important it can be for our fellow human beings out there who are struggling.  Men and women who return from battle or other traumatic situation(s) and just want to get back on their feet; restore some sense of normalcy, purpose, and routine to their lives.  That's something I can definitely relate to - as I'm sure many of us can.  A puppy can provide that positive spark they need, and I'm committed to paying that gift forward.

This is important to me - Please support this and spare a few bucks.

Let's do our part to change someone's life, that's all I want for my birthday.

Ross & Bulldozer Layton
