TAMPA, FL, July 5, 2022 – The Special Operations Warrior Foundation proudly highlights Cynthia (Cindy) Norris as she attempts to break a Guinness World Record which will take her across America in a 4,280-mile ride departing on Friday, July 8 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time/12noon Eastern Time, Pier 2, Kiwanis Waterfront Park in Anacortes, Washington to Henlopen State Park, Delaware making her the oldest woman at 67 years to have accomplished this feat.
Major General Clay Hutmacher, President and CEO for the Foundation said, “The Special Operations community embraces the bonds formed during times of challenge and adversity and appreciates the intense drive to push one’s limits to accomplish great tasks. We applaud Cindy’s efforts on her noble goal on behalf of the children of our fallen Special Operations Personnel.”
“Every child of a fallen Special Operator deserves the greatest opportunity for future success,” explained Cindy Norris.
Her goal is to inspire others to foster support for the surviving children of America’s fallen and severely wounded Special Operations Personnel by raising money for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. SOWF honors the legacy of America’s Special Operations Forces by providing full educations and additional educational opportunities “cradle to career” (preschool – college), for the surviving children of Special Operations Forces lost in the line of duty and children of all Medal of Honor Recipients.
