With great honor we proudly announce this year's 2023 Honoree for the Upstate NY Wounded Vet Run as United States Army SPC. Marissa Strock. She joined the Army in 2004 as a Military Police officer, after basic training she was stationed at Fort Lewis WA, where she joined the 170th MP Co known as the “Dragon Slayers”. Specialist Strock deployed to Baghdad to meet up with her deployed unit in 2005. Once there Specialist Strock began working alongside Iraqi Police and Iraqi Army, pulling security at checkpoints and doing routine patrols to show a presence in Southern Baghdad. This was an area known to locals as "The Triangle of Death". On 24 Nov 2005, while en route to a mission an IED (Improvised explosive device) would detonate beneath Specialist Strocks vehicle. The blast killed her team leader, her driver and the Iraqi police colonel in the back seat. Specialist Strock was Med-Evaced to Baghdad, then to Germany and finally to Walter Reed Hospital in Maryland. After 18 months in the hospital she returned home to Upstate NY as a Purple Heart Recipient and double amputee.

On July 29th, WE RIDE FOR HER!

The Organization

The Upstate NY Wounded Vet Run Inc.

We are a registered 501c3 non-profit that provides services, financial help, appreciation and donations directly to veterans in need. Our mission is: “To aid any veteran wounded in combat or training while on active duty.” Over the past 5 years we have been able to raise and donate over $60,000 to our recipients. Without our sponsors thus far we would not be able to achieve this. Help us continue to support and provide our Wounded veterans with the help they may need. You can be proud that 100% of your donation goes directly to assisting those most worthy recipients. The Upstate NY Wounded Vet run consists of a motorcycle ride through the backroads of Rensselaer and Saratoga counties followed by a ceremony/concert. We are hoping that your organization or company will generously make a donation so we can have a successful event.
