Alex Nauert Marine Corps Marathon

Good Day Friends!

 Let me begin by saying’ I signed up for something that I have no business signing up for, but whatever I did it anyway. . . .

. . . . . The 2024 49^th Marine Corps Marathon 10/27/2024

This has always been a bucket list item of mine and although I have had many years to train for this run, I have always seemed to find many excuses to not see it through.  Well, here we are and at the age of 36 (Lord help me) and I have pulled the trigger and decided to lace up my shoes and attempt to run the 26.2 miles throughout our national capital. I mean I am here for a little while as a guest of the Marine Corps, I might as well, right?

 So, I am glad and honored to announce that I am running my 2024 Marine Corps Marathon to raise awareness for One Family Gives.  One Family Gives is a 501c3 non-profit organization created with a goal of helping individuals and families in need. Whether it’s a child who has lost a parent and needs help with a scholarship or a child who is suffering from cancer. Or it could be one of our beloved seniors who simply needs their lawn cut, or assisting in donations for disaster relief efforts, or to help out a wounded warrior who needs a ramp built into their house. 

Many of you know over the years of service in the Marine Corps, and through the great work of many non-profits, I have come to befriend many families who have lost a loved one while in service to this great nation. I am personally dedicating this run to them.

 My goal is $15K, however, I am humbly seeking a simple donation of $26.20 per person (26.2 miles in a marathon 😊).  If you wish to support by giving more than that to help me reach my goal, I would be forever grateful!

I cannot thank you enough for your support.
