I just finished typing up a 'post' for a blog in Italy. One of my good friends owns and runs a B&B with her husband in Catanzaro, Italy. She came up with the brilliant idea of reaching out to her readers in an effort to raise money for the WWP. As I was typing the piece, I wanted to include an exact mention of what the funds raised by the WWP actually do for our wounded heroes. I went to the WWP website and found a very nice posting, one that made me like this guy even more. On April 5, 2009, or Karbala Day as some of us know it, Trace Adkins will sing a song on the 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards with the West Point Glee Club in support of Wounded Warrior Project. The ACMs will air Live from MGM GRAND in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 5th, 2009 at 7:00 PM LIVE CT, so be sure to tune in.

It's great to see the word spreading about the WWP. I just spoke to a friend back home, and we are in the weeds planning a charity run through the Big Thicket National Preserve in order to raise funds for the WWP as well. Hopefully, with the word spreading to Italy and me finally getting a run or two planned and organized, I can meet and beat my monetary goal of $10,000 for 2009.
