Meet Yada Duck. (AKA DUCK) Jada has not always been a runner, but you wouldn't know it. DUCK is not very hard to spot on race day or a regular training run. You will always see him doing one of two things and in most cases both. What are those things you ask? Look for the guy on race day that is carrying a flag (US, Suicide Prevention or other) If you are still not sure, look for the guys who PURPOSELY jumps in puddles. DUCK has a heart to help families or individuals who are affiliated with the military. The word suicide is a topic which is hard to talk about but definitely a topic that more people need to know about. DUCK does his part by dedicating each one of his running events to a former military service member bringing honor for their past service. Listen in as he shares his story and what led him to running to help hurting families.
