Join Beyond The Teams in Honoring Our Heroes during “Military Appreciation Month” (May). Born from a deep-rooted desire to help one of our own, our mission has flourished into a commitment to empower through service.

Why Your Support Matters
Empowerment Through Service: Our initiatives focus on recovery, recognition, and the ongoing support of our military. We believe in the transformative power of service, not just for those we help but for our community as a whole.

A Tribute to David Charbonnet, one of our own. 
Rally behind Beyond The Teams and the remarkable individuals they champion, such as David Charbonnet. 

David’s story is one of relentless perseverance. From achieving his childhood dream of becoming a Navy SEAL to overcoming the adversity of a tragic parachuting accident that left him paralyzed, he continues to redefine limits and inspire us all.

Now, David is setting his sights on a new dream – competing as a Sprint Kayaker in the 2024 Paralympics. After successfully navigating the Paralympic trials and securing his place in the Finals in Budapest, he is determined to make his mark in Paris this September.

Your support not only honors our service members but actively participates in their journey of empowerment and recovery. Let’s show our heroes the appreciation and recognition they deserve.Donate now and be a part of a movement that honors service and sacrifice. Together, we can make a lasting impact.

Direct Impact
An incredible 98% of the funds raised go directly to our charitable efforts, ensuring your donation makes a real difference.

Supporting Critical Causes
We’re dedicated to a range of causes that benefit our service members and our communities around the world, from recovery programs to public recognition of their sacrifices and valor. We pledge to continue our work, embodying the spirit of service and sacrifice he represented. Your donation during this campaign will directly support these critical efforts, offering much-needed assistance and acknowledgment to those who’ve served our nation and the communities they serve. It’s more than a contribution; it’s a statement of gratitude and respect for our heroes. Join us in making a difference. Thank you for your support and for standing with us as we honor our nation’s heroes.

Warm regards, The Beyond the Teams Family

Jack Cover, at Beyond The Teams Board member is 
taking part in the Marathon De Sables (MDS) for the third time. “The MDS is the quintessential extreme challenge!!! 157+ miles across the Sahara Desert carrying everything you’ll need for the six-day journey, on your back. I believe it’s important to continue to challenge yourself. That there is an opportunity for real self-discovery found when one pushes the boundaries of their limitations”.

Update from Jack Cover, Beyond Team Board member:

I arrived in Ouarzazate on the 6th of April, about 6-days prior to the actual start, to get more acclimated and to finalize my gear. It’s a scramble to get fully prepared for this adventure.

We get transported by a 6-hour bus ride to the race start in the Sahara on Friday (12th) and for 2 days we go through gear and administrative checks and receive our route maps to navigate the course. We will be self-sufficient for those 2-days. 

The race then starts on Sunday (14th) and we will run for 252.8 kilometers, the longest in the 38-year history of the race, over 6 stages, still self-sufficient other than water that we will collect at certain checkpoints along the course. 

There will be about 600 runners representing over 60 countries. I’m one of 5 from the USA.
