WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) – Carry The Load, a non-profit that provides active ways to connect Americans to the sacrifices of our military, veterans, first responders, and their families, is set to begin its Memorial May campaign on Monday, April 29.

The community, regardless of age, can join the month-long national movement to honor and remember our fallen heroes.

The 14th Annual Memorial May campaign will stay true to its roots of connecting people to the true meaning of Memorial Day.

This year, thousands of participants will walk in Carry The Load’s National Relay which spans 20,000 miles, 48 states, and 69 community events including 33 VA National Cemeteries. The relay will converge at the Dallas Memorial March on Memorial Day weekend.

New this year, Carry The Load is introducing the Good Move app, a gamified activity-tracking app that allows individuals to track fundraising progress and health activities such as steps walked on a live leaderboard.

Those interested can register at www.carrytheload.org, and all participants are encouraged to register and download the Good Move app.
