00:05.640 --> 00:07.862
most employees soldiers have used their

00:07.862 --> 00:09.751
P . T . Time to maintain physical

00:09.751 --> 00:11.973
standards or as a stress reliever . But

00:11.973 --> 00:14.140
for staff Sergeant Eddie Monroe pt has

00:14.140 --> 00:16.362
taken on a deeper meaning . I'm running

00:16.362 --> 00:18.307
100 miles for the relay . For life

00:18.307 --> 00:20.418
relay . For life is an event held all

00:20.418 --> 00:22.529
over the US to raise money for cancer

00:22.529 --> 00:24.696
patients and cancer research . And for

00:24.696 --> 00:26.751
three months , whenever the schedule

00:26.751 --> 00:28.751
allowed , staff Sergeant Monroe was

00:28.751 --> 00:30.862
running , I had to at least run three

00:30.862 --> 00:33.084
miles a day and you know , there's days

00:33.084 --> 00:35.140
that were missed , catch up days and

00:35.140 --> 00:37.307
everything else like that and you have

00:37.307 --> 00:39.251
to want to do it 100 miles later ,

00:39.251 --> 00:41.307
Staff Sergeant Monroe's efforts pays

00:41.307 --> 00:41.180
off . I was able to get on the Facebook

00:41.180 --> 00:43.510
page and kind of check out the updates

00:43.510 --> 00:45.510
and everything like that . Personal

00:45.510 --> 00:47.621
donations that I received . We hit uh

00:47.621 --> 00:51.320
1,525 And the Portland relay for cancer

00:51.330 --> 00:52.886
in and of itself hit in the

00:52.886 --> 00:55.050
neighborhood of $65,000 raised . It's

00:55.050 --> 00:57.106
something that I think everybody can

00:57.106 --> 00:59.161
and should do at least once . At the

00:59.161 --> 00:59.150
end of the day , you really feel

00:59.150 --> 01:01.710
rewarded for it . A reward worth every

01:01.710 --> 01:03.860
step . Petty Officer Patrick House ,
