Bret has committed to undertaking the Goggins Challenge Charity Run Annually with the support of Recovery Resources, The Nord Center, Bob Laughton and his Family, Friends and network of supporters one weekend a year, This year's race is on August 11-13th. The goal of this challenge is to raise funds for individuals affected by drug and alcohol addiction, as well as veterans who have suffered from mental health issues and those who have lost loved ones to suicide. Bret has experienced profound personal loss to these issues.

To raise awareness and financial resources Bret has set a goals to push himself to his physical limits by running each 4-hour block of the Goggins 4x4x48 challenge in the memory of someone who has been lost to drug or alcohol addiction, mental health struggles, or veteran suicide.
