Team Hope For The
Warriors® Tampa
For the past two years, Team Hope For The Warriors® has
participated in the Gasparilla Half Marathon. This year, Hope For The
Warriors® was selected as a charity partner with the Gasparilla Distance
Classic Association and will receive part of the proceeds from the weekend of
races. The Gasparilla Distance Classic weekend has a 5K and 15K on Saturday,
February 23rd and a half marathon and 8K on Sunday, February 24th. We
would like to have a sea of Team Hope For The Warriors® jerseys over the
weekend, so be sure to register for one of the races at http://www.tampabayrun.com/. If
you are not already a TH4W member, join Team Hope For The Warriors® at http://www.hopeforthewarriors.org/story/18728026/team-hope-for-the-warriors
to get your Team jersey and kit. We will also have a Team dinner the
Friday before the weekend at a local restaurant to be determined.
For all of the Team members down in
the beautiful Tampa Bay area, you are invited to join our Tampa Team for their
weekly group gathering and run on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. at Beef O’Brady’s on
South MacDill. For more information, please contact Devin Young, Team Captain

What Inspired You
To Become A Part Of Team Hope For The Warriors®?
“I come from a military family. Both of my parents (AirForce
and Navy), both of my grandfathers (Army and Navy), all my parent's siblings (Army,
AirForce and Marines) and I have been married to a Navy Chief for 18
years. I believe in supporting causes that do positive things for the
military, veterans and their families. What better way to combine two of
my passions than a running team that supports the military?”
Fun Fact About
