Another beautiful morning to participate in Memory Miles, a walk to benefit Active Hereos. Our friend, Jerry Vest, organized a group of family and friends to help raise money for this great cause. Although it was his first year participating and putting this event together, there were about 15 people who walked a 3 mile loop, as well as made monetary donations. The walk took place in the beautiful Pioneer Park in Mooresville.
Active Heroes helps Military families in need. It helps provide services where other funding leaves off. It is a volunteer-led non-profit charity with thousands of active individuals, like Jerry, that fundraise to help Veterans, Active Duty Military and their families. They help with financial assistance, such as mortgage payments, utilities, car payments and also accept wish lists. Monetary assistance is not given directly to applicants, instead the organization will pay the bill.
Jerry, retired Master Sergeant, Airforce, is a wonderful example of this great organization at work. His wish is to make this a larger, more oraganized outing next year and we wish him the best of luck and look forward to participating in next years memory walk with you!

Pioneer Park has several paved forest trails, an aquatic center, playgrounds geared to different age groups, ball fields, volleyball, baskeball courts, various picnic areas and shelters. It would be a great place for a family renunion or summer outing.
