But seriously…while you might think that running tops the list in reasons to come out and join Stroller Warriors…it is really only one of the reasons. The club is so much bigger than that. Last week Mia Mashburn, chapter coordinator for Stroller Warriors said it best in a statement specific to SWCP but that truly describes ALL Stroller Warriors…

Stroller Warriors Camp Lejeune

“Stroller Warriors Camp Pendleton has grown to over 300 members today. Looking back over the past year, and before that at Camp Lejeune, I can't count the number of times I have been amazed by the people who call themselves Stroller Warriors, there are just too many moments to keep track. As a team, SWCP thrives through positivity, support, and motivation. As individuals, YOU warriors face challenges in day to day life as military spouses, and

service members. Stroller Warriors brave deployments, moves, loss, illness. You manage a household, being mom and dad through your own heartache - and still manage to get out and support fellow warriors. Whether its a high five, a "BOOM," a meal train, a ride to the doctor, watching kids - you warriors truly come together and support one another. You don't stop at just other stroller warriors either. You give your time, money, and talents to support causes and serve your community. As a runner, I can open up my door and step out and cover some miles. As a Stroller Warrior I get to be a part of something pretty amazing. It wouldn't, and couldn't, be amazing if not for EACH AND EVERY warrior. THANK YOU!

I am awe inspired on a regular basis thanks to you guys. I feel so lucky, and also baffled by how many tremendous people can gather together and create such awesomeness. Again, THANK YOU WARRIORS.”
