Former Navy Seal and founder of Carry The Load Stephen Holley will speak to the Lake Highlands Exchange Club Friday morning.
While it started as an esoteric and personal event, Carry the Load — a 20-plus-hour walk to honor veterans, police and firefighters — has gained recognition. Participants walk as many as 20 hours, often carrying backpacks weighing 30-40 pounds or more to symbolize both the physical weight that soldiers carry as well as the weight of responsibility carried by first responders and military personnel.
If after hearing the talk you are inspired to join but want some company, Lake Highlands CrossFit has a free training group. You can read about it in our May interview with the organizer, Mark Barnett.
Members of the Exchange Club know when and where to meet – Knights of Columbus, 10110 Shoreview, at 7 a.m.
