A BLANK CHECK Fitness Together

A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve 335 14th Avenue South, Naples, FL 34102
- is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check
made payable to The United States of America, for an amount of ‘up to Call Us Today! 239.263.9348
and including’ their life.

Is there any greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s
friend, family or country? Perhaps it’s caring for their loved ones
after they are gone.

The ‘Share the Love’event also benefited The Marc Scialdo Scholarship
Fund in honor of our Naples Hero, SSG Marc Scialdo, who was
killed while serving during Operation Enduring Freedom on March
11, 2013. His foundation will help the children and grandchildren of
SWFL Operation Enduring Freedom Veterans fulfill their education
and career goals.

Heroes and Heroines are laid to rest. They provide compassionate care
and peer-based emotional support,grief and trauma resources,seminars,
casework assistance as well as a 24/7 help line.

Blaise Pascal, the French philosopher, wrote that the heart has its
reasons which reason knows nothing of. So the quest to define love
continues. Perhaps on Saturday, February 13, 2016, in the company of
other like-minded “Agape Advocates,” you can find your answer.
