Cheer on TMP's Marine Corps Marathon Participants this Weekend!
The 2016 Marine Corps Marathon is this Sunday, October 30th, but there's still time for you to show your support for this year's Team Marine Parents runners.
Our dedicated runners have raised more than $20,000 for the outreach programs of MarineParents.com, Inc. These runners have trained hard and have done so much to support our outreach programs. We need to show them we appreciate their hard work and fundraising efforts. Help us show our support and appreciation across social media by changing your profile photos to the TMP Fan Squad image this weekend. Please also take a moment to wish our runners luck and to thank them for supporting our troops by leaving a comment on this post on the TMP Facebook Page.
In addition to fundraising and spreading awareness of Marine Parents, our runners will be running in honor of Corporal Eric M. Torbert Jr., a Marine who lost his life in Afghanistan in 2010 while serving with the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion. Each runner will wear a ribbon with Eric's name on it that will be attached to their bibs with a battle cross lapel pin.

What's After Boot Focus: Marine Corps Physical Fitness
What is the Marine Corps' secret to maintaining its standard of excellence? It has to do with the emphasis that individual Marines, as well as the Corps as a whole, place on physical conditioning.
Physical fitness standards are implemented as soon as recruits arrive at boot camp, where they are faced with an Initial Strengths Test (IST).
