The Ruck for Mike was started by one of Mike’s best friends, Rhett Barber. Friends since middle school, Rhett and Mike both loved the challenge of pushing themself mentally and physically. Owner of The Cross Fit Lions Den, Rhett had planned a 75-mile ruck event, that Mike was looking forward to participating in. After Mike’s passing, Rhett decided to turn the event into a way to not only honor his friend but also raise money to help support Mike’s family.
The event was a huge success with around 330 people attended. All the profits were donated to Mike’s family, but most importantly, they were surrounded by so much love and support. They felt and saw firsthand the love and respect that so many have for Mike, and they knew they were not alone.
