Troy University fraternity members from Alpha Tau Omega are walking more than 128 miles for a great cause this week – wounded warriors. The group, named Alpha Tau Omega Walk Hard are hiking to raise awareness and funds for wounded warriors and hope to raise more than $10,000. Proceeds will help Jeep Sullivan’s Outdoor Adventures, a non-profit organization that offers wounded warriors, veterans, and first responders an opportunity to refresh and recharge while enjoying nature.

Eighteen members of the fraternity left Troy on March 6, 2015 and are on their way to the Pier Park Boardwalk in Panama City Beach. The group plans on completing their journey on March 11.

“We are honored to have the opportunity to work with Jeep,” said Logan Wagner, 2015 Walk Hard director.
