We are a team of individuals who participate in epic challenges across the world in order to raise money for charity. These tasks commemorate important moments in history where soldiers showed incredible feats of courage and overcame insurmountable amounts of adversity.
On February 19, 1945, the U.S. commenced in a battle to overtake the island of Iwo Jima in Japan. This five-week battle comprised some of the fiercest and bloodiest fighting in the Pacific War of World War II. Despite the bloody fighting and severe casualties on both sides, the American victory was accomplished after 5 weeks of fighting.
We are paying tribute to the soldiers who fought and lost their lives in the Battle of Iwo Jima by engaging in an Epic Charity Challenge. The challenge will consist of running, swimming, biking, and outrigger canoeing around the entire island of Guam, approx. 80 miles. This task will be completed in only 12 hours.
Semper Fi Foundation
Every year, Operation Good participates in an Epic Charity Challenge in order to raise money for a selected charity. Each task is both mentally and physically arduous and always coincides with an important historical moment that shaped history. By paying tribute to these brave men and women who sacrificed their lives, we are able to keep their memory alive.

Today marks the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima, one of the fiercest battles of the brutal fight for the Pacific during World War II. More than 20 Marines and 5 Sailors were awarded the Medal of Honor for their heroic actions during the bloody 5 week battle. Let us all take a moment to remember and recognize those that fought and the nearly 7000 Marines and Sailors who gave their lives.
