Carry the Load will hold a local Rally in Minneapolis on May 6th. Click Here for More Information.
Carry The Load is a non-profit dedicated to providing active, meaningful ways to honor and celebrate the sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes — military, law enforcement, firefighters, rescue personnel and their families.
What started as a mission to restore the true meaning of Memorial Day has broadened to include more than just our military heroes and more than just the one holiday. Carry The Load works to bring all American’s together to participate in honoring our nation’s heroes every day.
Founded in 2011 by two Veteran Navy SEALs Carry The Load began as a 20 hour and 11 minute Memorial March in Dallas, Texas. In 2012, it expanded to include an East Coast Relay, walking from West Point, NY to Dallas, Texas throughout the month of May. The relay leg captains walk in 5 mile increments carrying the American flag to bring awareness to the sacrifices of our nation’s heroes. In 2016, Carry The Load expanded once again by adding a West Coast route from Seattle, WA to Dallas, TX to help engage Americans throughout the country.
Each year participation has grown. In 2017, we walked through over 19 states and had Rallies in approximately 50 cities throughout the country. The Memorial May Awareness campaign has raised over $15M and also provides funding for Carry The Load’s Continuum of Care program. In 2017, Carry The Load added, Carry The Flag, an educational program to inspire patriotism for students K-12. Carry The Load continues to expand to Honor our Nation’s heroes 365 days a year.
