Running has opened so many doors for me. In less than 10 years, we’ve raised nearly $20,000 for multiple charities simply by running. The only thing better than friendly competition is fundraising and helping the communities that need it the most. After running the #HeartAndSole shoe drive for the last three years, we've received and donated more than 1,300 pairs of shoes. I’ll continue to be a good ambassador for our country, help those in need and cross as many finish lines as possible. Thanks to everyone that nominated me for the 2024 Waukee Citizen of the Year. I'm honored to receive such an amazing award and will do my best. Thank you all for your continued support.
Your amazing support and donations literally save and change lives. Thank you. -Bruce Huckfeldt |

Mission 22 is a non-profit who combats the ever-rising veteran suicide rate. Every day, more than twenty veterans are lost to suicide. Mission 22 wants to bring that number to zero. It does this with three main programs; veteran treatment programs, memorials and national awareness.
I've completed numerous fundraisers, charity events and challenges that have allowed me to raise nearly $10,000 for Mission 22. I'll continue to support this amazing program and our veterans in need.

Here is a message I received from WWP CEO Michael Linnington: "Bruce, congratulations on an unbelievable achievement benefitting our Nations Wounded Warriors. On this Thanksgiving, I give thanks to citizen-patriots like you that take action! Thank you and God Bless you, your family, and all that supported your mission. With respect and appreciation, Mike Linnington, LTG (ret) US Army, CEO of WWP" Saucony are my favorite shoes. Hey Saucony, get a hold of me!
Bombas has supported my shoe drive since 2022 and generously donated more than 700 pairs of socks.

Your community is lucky to have you."
