Carry The Load 2025 - A Personal Message from Darin M. Klemchuk

From Darin M. Klemchuk, about Carry The Load 2025:

Laura and I, along with our kids, are participating in Carry The Load again this year.  The Memorial Day Weekend event serves as a way to honor and celebrate the sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes – military, veterans, first responders, and their families.

Whatever your plans might include this Memorial Day Weekend, please take a moment to reflect on those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to our county.

This is our 13th year participating in Carry The Load. Below you will find the bib I will again carry on my ruck sack for the 20-hour relay, to remember and honor my friend and mentor Cramps, his service and sacrifice, and all he stood for.

The non-profit partners, as recipients of funds donated to Memorial May Carry The Load, are aided in providing year-long continuum of care programs supporting our nation’s heroes and their families.  Healing services include counseling, adaptive training, suicide prevention, service dogs, and educational scholarships for children of the fallen.

The Memorial May event in Dallas, TX over the Memorial Day weekend is expertly hosted at Reverchon Park, with easy parking or Uber/Lyft drop-off. It is family-friendly, with live music, food trucks, and a play zone for kids at the Opening Ceremony on Sunday, May 25th, at 3:30 p.m. We’d love to see you there!

Thank you,

Darin M. Klemchuk
