About the Event

Why We Run - The Mission Behind the Miles
Helping Hands for Heroes (HHH) is a Florida-based nonprofit fighting veteran homelessness through
transitional housing and wrap-around services.

Our Mission
To reduce homelessness among U.S. Veterans by providing transitional housing, mental health services,
workforce training, and reintegration support.
We believe no Veteran should be left behind. Through dignity-driven care and structured programs, we
restore purpose and provide a path forward.

What Is 'Countdown to 82'?
Our flagship initiative to build 82 fully supported transitional housing units for homeless and at-risk Veterans
in Northeast Florida.

Your Impact as a Runner

- Help house a homeless Veteran
- Support mental health and suicide prevention
- Provide job training and placement
- Show Veterans they are not forgotten

Final Message
Together, we Run Up for Heroes because every Veteran deserves a place to call home.
