100 Mile Ruck March Challenge
100 Mile Ruck March Challenge- Heather Forchilli
Hi there!
My name is Heather Forchilli. I have been on a fitness journey for the past 9 years. I have lost over 125 lbs through diet, exercise and a total mindset overhaul! I use my journey to inspire others to start their own journeys. In 2021 I developed a new passion of pushing myself way beyond anything I ever thought I could do while raising money for local non-profits. It started with creating an event where I ran 30 miles on my 30th birthday while raising money for Girls on the Run in Worcester. That progressed to me applying for a charity bib for the 125th Boston Marathon, which I ran in October and raised a total of $9043 for the UMass ALS Cellucci Fund!
Now my goal is to raise $10,000 for Why Me & Sherry’s House and completing this 100 mile Ruck challenge! This is a lofty goal. I am nervous, but with your help and my desire to reach any goal that I set for myself, I think I can…no wait…I know I can do this!
More About the Challenge:
The 100 Mile Ruck March Challenge is a military inspired event, where a small group of Athletes will Ruck (hike) 25 miles a day for 4 days. Camping out each night on the farm of a local brewery and continuing the march at sunrise each morning. Athletes will carry everything they will need for this 4 day event on their backs, navigate the 100 mile course, cook their own meals, set up and break down their own camps each night, tend to their feet and bodies, all in an attempt to earn the coveted 100 Mile Ruck March Finisher Medal.
