Organiser's Description
Aaron Redd had a dream to be a Coast Guardsman. He wanted to save lives and be part of something bigger than himself. On 28 June 2016, he began that dream when he and his fellow Recruits set foot on the grounds of the Cape May Training Center in New Jersey. He was ready to serve his Country. Only a few days later, due to complications from the Sickle Cell Trait, he collapsed on the training course. On 6 July 2016, Aaron passed away. Aaron family and friends established the Aaron Redd Foundation [https://www.aaronreddfoundation.org], a 501C3 charity, to honor Aaron and his mission to serve.
