Clarkstown police officer, former marine, runs for ‘wounded warriors’

Ever hear of the Wounded Warrior Project? It’s a nonprofit group that raises awareness and funds, largely through athletic woundedwarrior.jpgevents, for the ongoing rehabilitation of severely wounded veterans returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Andrew Kelly, a Clarkstown police officer and former U.S. Marine, is helping raise money for the organization by running in the Vermont 100 in July. The 35-year-old, two-time Ironman Triathlete said he has been preparing for a year for the 100-mile race in the Green Mountains. akelly.jpgHere’s a photo of him at the qualifying race – the Vermont 50 - in September. (His time was 9 hours, 58 minutes.)

Kelly told me he hopes to raise $100,000 for the project, and that his efforts will inspire other Lower Hudson Valley residents to help defray the mounting medical expenses incurred by amputees and other seriously injured veterans.

“The outpouring of support has helped our heroes to better assimilate back into society, but, more importantly, has given them hope for their future,” he said. “They have given so much of themselves and ask for so little in return.”

Donors can contribute to the Wounded Warrior Project through Kelly’s race by clicking here. For more information, post a comment at the end of this blog entry (Click on “Comments” to submit questions or other feedback).

    Best of Luck to you now during your training and from the first step to the last step of the Vermont 100.

    Our prayers are with you Andrew.

    Unfortunately, many people forget about our “Wounded Warriors”, hopefully this will raise more awareness for those left behind. Good luck Ang, you are a true American and super hero!!!

    And although I don’t think QJ would reach Chuck’s popularity status right away, I’d assume he could get quite the healthy sponsorship from Xyience, especially if he beats Chuck. I know Rampage makes nice money in Pride, but coming back to fight in the states and for the UFC has greater opportunities than straight cash by the fights. Rampage probably couldn’t make the supposed 2-3 million that Chuck is making w/ all his sponsorships by QJ staying in Pride. He’ll never become a national star in the US that could branch out into other opportunities – movies, shows, etc, that all provide additional forms of income as well.
