The McHugh Jiu-Jitsu School in Marlton, NJ, in partnership with the We Defy Foundation, holds the two-part event to honor the fallen and raise funds to help combat veterans.
One hundred and seventy combat veterans, families and friends took part in the 2nd annual Ruck and Roll on Monday.
"I'm a Navy veteran. Memorial Day means a lot to me. A lot of people paid the ultimate price. We're lucky to be here because they put it all on the line," said Pete Lingesso with the We Defy Foundation. "It's also about carrying the load. People before who paid the ultimate sacrifice, and so today we're carrying the load for people who can't carry it anymore," said Nachurski.
