    Completing Bataan Memorial Death March inspires, leads to personal growth

    Where do you go to find inspiration to challenge yourself to learn and grow to be a better person?

We registered for and competed in the 27th Annual Bataan Memorial Death March at White Sands Missile Range, N.M. on March 20.
