As part of an ongoing pledge, BHG has arranged to have participating veterans custom fit for running shoes and other exercise gear at Fleet Feet Sports, a running specialty store located in Syracuse.

The goal of the partnership is to get wounded veterans excited about physical fitness and help prevent injuries as they train.

"We're seeing more and more how beneficial getting in shape can be for soldiers trying to cope with both physical and emotional wounds," Erwin said. "Having organizations like BHG that understand our mission and are willing to offer unique ideas and support is integral to our success."
