Swanny's Handmade Wooden Items is a proud supporter of Jeremiah at Chick Fila

He's back! Thank you to everyone that supports Swanny's Handmade Wooden Items which in turn supports The Semper Fi and America's Fund. This organization supports tens of thousands of veterans and provides recovery through sport. Today was a place for them to come together for support and reflection as they ran or handcycled the 10k or the marathon & 50k. The love our service members feel here is unmeasurable. Remember, if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything. I challenge you to come spectate this race just once in your lifetime, it will change you.
