The Mission Continues..... Charity Raffle to Win a Chance to Workout With General Petraeus

The Mission Continues is a non-profit charity organization that assists veterans and provides a support framework for veterans to perform various community service work. Or so I am learning, as I was intrigued by a charity event raffle the organization is running with the help of General Petraeus.

The charity event will have you and friend 'be challenged" by General Petraeus in a 5K run around the National Mall in Washington D.C. in what the website (found here) calls a grueling physical and metal challenge. I could only imagine what grueling means to a four-star general who was the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and supposedly a fitness aficionado. This seems like a great cause and if a grueling physical challenge does not seem interesting, how about playing battleship with the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Admiral Mullen. They have me sold.
