Day 9 - Hurricane, WV to Rainelle, WV

We left Hurricane, West Virginia and traveled to the state capital, Charleston. We were well received by a large crowd and had a brief service at the West Virginia War Memorial that honors West Virginians in lost their lives serving their country in World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.

We then went to Rainelle Elementary School in Rainelle, West Virginia. Rainelle is one of the big highlights of our trip. It's at Rainelle, on the very first Run For The Wall, that the whole town and school turned out to welcome us home. In keeping with that tradition, we stop there every year. Also, we raise money as we go across the country for the school children at Rainelle. This year, it has been my honor and privilege to be the Rainelle Coordinator and take the lead in raising funds for Rainelle School.

This year we raised $20,048!!!
