To kick off The Jedburgh Podcast coverage of the 2022 New York City Veterans Day Parade Fran Racioppi asks one of his favorite Jedburghs, Founder of FitFighter and his guest from Episode 51, Sarah Apgar to join him from the back of the 1944 Dodge WC-51. 

Fran and Sarah drop the theme of this year’s Veterans Day, “Here We Are,” and discuss why Veterans Day is about honoring our past and celebrating those still serving. 

As the first episode in this series, they are joined by another of our most popular Jedburghs, and Fran’s guest from Episode 55 and Episode 59, Sara Wilkinson. This year The Jedburgh Podcast is proud to support Sara and the Step Up Foundation in Chad1000X , the Hero WOD named in honor of Sara’s husband Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson. Sara shares the pain Chad1000X brings, but the opportunity it presents to be one with yourself, present and “Here We Are.”

Join Fran and Sarah live at New York City’s Madison Square Park at 6am on 11/11 to feel the pain of Chad. Then stay for the parade and don’t miss us next to the grandstands in the WC-51. Stay tuned to our socials for updates and more information.
