Help Me Support the Wounded Warrior Project!



Hi Friends and Family,

At a recent local Tough Mudder event, I qualified for the World’s Toughest Mudder series World Championships which will be held on December 17, 2011 in Englishtown, New Jersey. Clif Bar made it possible for me to fly back and compete for the title of the World’s Toughest Human Being. This will be a non-stop 24 hour military boot camp style obstacle course that has been designed by British Special Forces. For more information on this race, please click on this link: http://toughmudder.com/events/worlds-toughest-mudder-series-finals/.

All proceeds of this championship race go directly to the Wounded Warrior Project, which exists to honor and empower wounded warriors who incurred service-connected injures on or after September 11, 2001. For more information please click on this link: http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/.

To show my support for the Men and Women who courageously risk their lives daily for us to continually enjoy our freedoms, I have established my own fundraising page online to accept donations which will go directly to the Wounded Warrior Project. Growing up with my Father serving in the US Army who is still currently serving our country as a Major General, and with several friends who have fought in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, I have developed a very deep respect for these men and women who give our country so much. We can’t repay them, but we can help them.

Please join me in raising money for this wonderful cause. With no personal benefit to me other than the satisfaction of knowing I have helped in a small way, I have set a personal goal to raise over $1,500 for the Wounded Warrior Project. If you would like to join me in showing support for those who sacrifice so much, please click on the following link today to donate any amount you wish. 100% of your donation will go straight to the charity: https://www.RaceIt.com/fundraising/fundraise.aspx?event=4528&fundraiser=3433.

Thank you for your time and consideration. If you would like to follow my progress as I train for this world championship event, you may access my blog at: http://www.ericwjohnson.blogspot.com/.

Eric Johnson

World's Toughest Mudder





At a recent local Tough Mudder event I qualified for the World’s Toughest Mudder series World Championships which will be held on December 17, 2011 in Englishtown, New Jersey. Clif Bar has been generous to cover the cost of the entry fee and offer me a finisher’s incentive so I am able to fly back and compete for the title of the World’s Toughest Human Being. This will be a non-stop 24 hour military boot camp style obstacle course that has been designed by British Special Forces.

Thanks Clif Bar, Camelbak, Princeton Tec, and Mountain Hardwear!
