SUMMARY:14th Annual Hike to Remember
DESCRIPTION:14th Annual Hike to Remember Press Release \nOn September 19th\, the Peter P Monaco Jr. Detachment 40 will hold their 14th Annual Hike to Remember. \n“Hike To Remember XIV on Saturday\, September 19th\, 2026\, in Glastonbury\, Connecticut. Veterans and current service members of all branches are invited to join us. All hikers and participants will meet at the Veterans Hall of Glastonbury at 4:30 AM and will step off for a 22-kilometer hike through Glastonbury starting and ending at our building located at 980 Chestnut Hill Rd\, South Glastonbury 06073. \nWe believe that uniting Veterans and service members from all areas and walks of life is the most important aspect to combating Veteran suicide. We all served for the common good of our nation. Each year’s Hike is designed to join the forces\, support the fight to end Veteran suicide\, and support Veterans as well their families in times of need. We encourage anyone who has served to join us and participate in our 22-kilometer hike. Friends\, family and/or any supporters are welcome to join us all for this community event. We will provide anyone who has served with a network of fellow service members who they can turn to\, especially if they find themselves facing difficult times. Our goal is always to inspire camaraderie\, support\, and lasting relationships. \nThis year’s goal for this year is to have 250 hikers registered and to raise $30\,000\, all to strengthen the Veteran community by continuing to build support networks and provide resources for those in need. Please join us at the Glastonbury Center Fountain at the intersection of Hebron Ave and Main St at 9:50 AM to see the hikers walk through town and at the Veterans Hall of Glastonbury at 980 Chestnut Hill Rd at 11:45 AM to welcome us back at the finish line. We anticipate a large turnout and overflow parking has been arranged and is available at the Hopewell School\, 1068 Chestnut Hill Rd\, South Glastonbury\, CT 06073. \nIf interested please visit our detachment website to sign up or for more information at MCLdet40.org\, go directly to our event registration page at hiketorememberx.itsyourrace.com\, or email us at peterpmonacojr@gmail.com.
