Berlin – Dream Foundation’s Dreams for Veterans program

Run the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON
with Dreams for Veterans

Recognised as one of the most famous races across the globe, the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON boasts spectacular views, with a flat course running through the historic capital with famous sites including the Brandenburg Gate. Part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors, this event has played host to several world records but with its optimum running conditions, it’s perfect for beginners and elite runners alike.

Run 26.2 miles (42.2 kilometers) through cheering crowds in an experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

Run with the Dream Challenge Team and help raise funds for Dreams for Veterans, a program of Dream Foundation.

Help make the final Dreams of terminally-ill U.S. military veterans, active service members, and members of the Reserve and National Guard come true.

The marathon takes place on September 21, and the countdown is on!

Rupa is #TeamDFV – Why I’m running

“Veterans put country above self. Even when they are in a situation in which their death is imminent, whether in the field of combat or their regular lives, they still think of others—their brothers and sisters in arms or their families and friends—above themselves.”

I serve on Dream Foundation’s Board. I also served as a physician with the U.S. Navy for over 17 years and still serve as a Clinical Associate Professor in Anesthesiology for the America’s Medical School (The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences).

I’m running because when you help make veterans’ Dreams come true, you give those who have served a gift in return – the gift of their final Dream to round out a life selflessly lived.

Dreams for Veterans helps terminally-ill veterans with Dreams that provide joy, comfort or closure at the end of life.

The average cost of a Dream is $2,500—and every dollar counts.

Like many other veterans facing the end of life, U.S. Air Force and Vietnam veteran John dreamed of paying his respects to those who did not come home.
