Always amazes me about what moves a person to this kind of purpose and action.

Why We Train So Freaking Hard: https://lnkd.in/ebWuDEPg

Imagine a young military child preparing for a big move with their family. Among the chaos and excitement, their canine companions, ShayShay and Blood, are by their side, offering comfort and unwavering loyalty. Now, picture the heartache of explaining to this child that their furry friends may not be able to accompany them on their new journey. This is the reality facing the Nepomuceno family, an active-duty US Army family preparing for a PCS to Thailand. The cost of transporting two dogs internationally is substantial, especially for military families on a tight budget. While the Department of Defense now offers a reimbursement policy for pet travel expenses, it's limited to one pet per household, leaving families like the Nepomucenos in a challenging position. Your support can make all the difference! By donating to the Rich Setzer Memorial Fund, you're not just easing the financial burden; you're ensuring that ShayShay and Blood can continue providing stability and solace during times of transition. Join us in preserving the unbreakable bond between military children and their furry companions! 🔗 Donate/Read More: https://lnkd.in/gSb3vmB8 Unable to donate? Consider volunteering with Dogs on Deployment! We offer virtual and in-person opportunities, including DoD Boarders - individuals who open their homes as foster spaces for pets when duty calls their owners.

Besides the American Red Cross and the Humane Society in Helene affected areas, also consider donating to groups coming into rescue with vital supplies to cut off Mountainous areas. There are mule teams going in. Also helicopters. These are the people coming from far and wide to help as there are so many people in need. The groups doing helicopter drops need fuel, and access to fuel. Any thing any body and can to help this process please make the time to do it. United Cajun Navy is one such group flying in life saving supplies. I contact them to find out about making donations and what they needed. I was told, fuel. And Access to more fuel. Too let's stop talking about politics and who won a debate or not and get down to taking care who are in and face unsurmountable challenges. If this organization isn't your thing, find one that is and donate money and time to helping if you can not be physically there. Whether it's American Red Cross, Humane Society, private corporations willing to help, non-profit organizations already on the ground,all of us need to pitch in. It may not have been you and your family this time, but next time? Respond. https://lnkd.in/gUiTK3Vn

New IRS Mileage Rates Alert: The IRS announced today that beginning on January 1, 2024, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car (also vans, pickups or panel trucks) will be: 67 cents per mile driven for business use, up 1.5 cents from 2023. 21 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes for qualified active-duty members of the Armed Forces, a decrease of 1 cent from 2023. 14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations; the rate is set by statute and remains unchanged from 2023.

Whilst the Brightsides have had to take a deeper course than expected, due to the winds, and it's delayed them much more than they'd hoped...perhaps surprisingly they're considerably further ahead then the crews of the 2023 Atlantic Dash were last year. 😯 • From a race perspective, there is no real comparison between years - it doesn't necessarily mean that the Brightsides are any stronger than the teams last year, but from a weather perspective it certainly is comparable. 📈📉 • Last year the two teams had similar boats to this year, a Rannoch R45 and a Rossiters 2 - but whilst they had a faster start, and were able to take a shorter route, last year got hit by the unhelpful winds later in the race! 💨 • So whilst the Brightsides' morale took a dip at one point because of their progress...they're actually the fastest team to enter this event so far! 🏎️ • Throughout this crossing the team will be raising money for Get A-Head Charitable Trust and Meningitis Now - please donate today at https://lnkd.in/ewFcK9Vg or use the text messaging service: TEXT ROW1 to 70191 to DONATE £10 TEXT ROW3 to 70191 to DONATE £30 • Lodders Solicitors LLP Bromwich Hardy • #thebrightsides #brightsides #oceanrowing #rannoch #atlanticocean #atlanticrow #oceanrow #oceanlife #rowing #rowinglife #atlanticdash #getahead #meningitisnow
