Troy University ATO's 2024 Walk Hard from Troy to Panama City, Fla., raised $105K for wounded veterans.
FOR THE LEDGER Exhaustion, endurance, elation were common themes after 35 brothers of Troy University’s Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity ran into the waves at Panama City Beach Thursday afternoon after completing a 128.3-mile, six-day walk in support of wounded veterans. The students raised $105,000.
Along the route, the marchers also hear inspirational messages and words of encouragement from veterans at their nightly rest stops, such as from Retired Army Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Stamaris, who got involved with Walk Hard about five years ago. Tobias Mandell, a sophomore exercise science major from Pensacola, walked for the first time and said he was inspired after seeing his fraternity brothers complete last year’s walk. The cause was also a personal one—his father served 30 years in the Army and his mother was a pilot in the Navy.
