Event summary

Join us for the uplifting 5 Year ShepFest | Memorial Run/Walk Challenge, a virtual event taking place from April 14 to April 20, 2024, in Norfolk, Norfolk. This week-long celebration honors the remarkable life of MSG Nick "Shep" Sheperty and pays tribute to the courageous individuals who serve our country. On April 17, we commemorate five years since Nick's passing, and we invite you to lace up your shoes to run or walk in his memory.

Participants are encouraged to cover any distance throughout the week, with every step contributing to a noble causeโ€”the completion of a memorial freefall statue that will be erected at the Military Freefall School in Yuma, AZ. Each mile logged and every dollar raised will help honor the sacrifices of those who have bravely served in military freefall operations. Share your journey using #MSGNickShepertyFoundation, and you could win a custom prize for your efforts! Let's come together to celebrate freedom and the legacy of an extraordinary individual while making a difference for others.
