Jay Watt - Marathon Man

Jay Watt - Marathon Man

I was given a fantastic opportunity to work with the Allied Forces Foundation, which is a British-American foundation working to raise awareness and funding for allied wounded and their families affected by the conflict of Iraq and Afghanistan, mainly through support of veteran's team participation in sporting events.

The most significant of these events is the renowned Marine Corps Marathon, which takes place in Washington DC, USA on the last weekend of October.
