If you have some free time Sept 18th there is a run/walk for a good cause.

Andres Burgos, 29, a Marine Veteran, served in Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, Haiti, and Guantanamo Bay. He obtained the rank of Sergeant before being honorably discharged from the US Marine Corps in 2007. His awards include the Navy/Marine Corps Achievement Medal (4th award), Good Conduct Medal (2nd), National Defense Medal, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon (3rd), Navy Unit Citation, Meritorious Unit Citation.

On June 29, 2011, Sergeant Burgos was involved in a serious motorcycle accident. He was treated at UMass Medical Center in Worcester. His right leg and one finger were amputated. Sgt. Burgos will require a prosthetic leg and additional surgery in the coming months. He has plenty of ties to the local community and the region.



Here is the link to the run/walk
