Looking to get in a good workout while doing good in the community Charlotte? You’re in luck.

Everyone is invited to participate in the class alongside Kennedy as well as local Veterans representing The Independence Fund.

“My time in the military has been transformative for my life, to put it lightly. Being surrounded by heroes every single day has given me renewed purpose to honor their commitment and sacrifice while also equipping them with the best resources when they face crisis,” explains Kennedy. “The work of The Independence Fund is exactly that. I am fanatical about my mission to preserve life, and I love partnering with The Independence Fund to prevent Veteran suicide. As we’re in the midst of PTSD Awareness Month, my hope is to bring hidden wounds to the surface and address them with dignity, urgency, and responsibility, so that we can underscore and bolster the legacy of American combat heroes across the nation.”
