TEAM USO/Boston Marathon 2019
Shout Out to the OG of the Crossfit Endurance program, Elizabeth Koch. She will be running the Boston marathon with her husband and they’re representing the USO which supports our military and their families. She’s already an incredible athlete and I’m happy to share this news if you’d like to support this awesome team. She along with her husband, Andy Koch, will be joining a 4 person team to support service members and military families.
Check it out.
What do this Sailor, 2X Olympic Gold Medalist, Marine and Military Spouse & Mom all have in common?
These four outstanding individuals have all committed to running 26.2 miles at this year’s 123rd Boston Marathon in an effort to support service members and military families through the mission of the USO.
We are thrilled to present this year’s 2019 Boston Marathon Team USO – Commander John Benda, Veteran Army SGT & Para-Olympian, Horitius (Jen) Lee, Major Andrew Koch and his wife, Elizabeth Koch, who will all be running to raise critical funding to support our USO Centers and Programs.
In the coming weeks we will be individually highlighting this group of patriots, so you can get to know each of them a bit more & join in our efforts to rally behind them during their training & fundraising leading up to the big day! The USO thanks the John Hancock non-profit program for this important opportunity to support our mission delivery.
