New Bedford’s 6th Annual Mission 22 Row, Ski, or Bike 22K Challenge to Support Veterans

In a world where trauma can shape-shift someone's life, kindness can be seen as the most powerful tool to combat someone's pain – especially a soldier suffering with PTSD.

That's where Mission 22 – a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting veteran suicide through various support systems for veterans and their families – shines, and strength in numbers are key.

The 6th Annual Mission 22 Row, Ski, or Bike 22K event is set to take place on Sunday, February 9, 2025, at Erg Fit, located at 127 West Rodney French Boulevard in New Bedford.

I'm proud to say that I participated in this event last year and anyone interest will be given the chance to challenge themselves by rowing, skiing or biking a total of 22 kilometers, providing options for different fitness levels and preferences.

Choose Your Heat:

Two heats will be available for participants: the first begins at 8 a.m., followed by the second at 10 a.m.

Sweat Off The Super Bowl Calories:

The event's timing coincides with Super Bowl Sunday, but don't worry. Make it a great opportunity to get in a workout before indulging in game-day festivities. So, start the day the right way by contributing to a meaningful cause while getting in a good sweat session surrounded by camaraderie and good company.
