     In honor of my brother Cpl. Luigi Marciante Jr. who sadly lost his life on September 20, 2007 while serving in Iraq we continue our ongoing commitment to the Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans.

     Last year Team S.O.S. was 85 runners/walkers strong and we raised over $15,000.00!  We endowed five handcrank wheelchairs in Louie's name and they are currently being used to particpate in races all over the country.       

     Team S.O.S. - Support Our Soldiers is in honor of fallen and wounded veterans. With your support, we will cross the finish line with Louie and his comrades watching over us.
