Shane Johnson of Booyah Productions visits Fisher House in Gainesville Florida!

Executive Director Patty Fabiani graciously invited Booyah Productions to take a tour of the Fisher House in Gainesville Florida.

Motivational speaker Shane Johnson has partnered with The Fisher House of Orlando to raise much needed funds and bring awareness in a series of events that include competing in The Bad Water Race, Death Valley, CA.

The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America’s military in their time of need. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform as well as the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by both the Departments of Defense and the Veterans Administration.

For members of our Armed Forces, retirees, veterans, and their families, the Fisher House program offers shelter and support during a medical crisis. Fisher Houses offer a comforting “home away from home” while a loved is receiving care in an unfamiliar environment. This special support is even more important to a family during the most stressful time – the hospitalization of a wounded or injured service member involved in military operations like Enduring Freedom or Iraqi Freedom.

The Gainesville Fisher House Foundation is the result of the effort of the Veterans Services Committee of the Rotary Club of Gainesville and its members. This committee was formed to honor those who have served and are serving the citizens of Alachua County in our United States Armed Forces. Seeing a great need in our greater community for a Fisher House facility the group formed the foundation.

Gainesville Fisher House Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to bringing a Fisher House to the campus of the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, Florida. It is also dedicated to assisting the house once it is built to attend to the needs of those who will reside at the house.

Most importantly, due to the generosity of people like you no family pays for their stay. The Gainesville Fisher House will be paid in full. The staffing and maintenance will be the responsibility of VA once it is turned over to them.

Remember us when planning your tax-deductible giving.

Shane Johnson will compete in the 4 Races crossing 4 continents in 2018!

Businessman, Motivational Speaker & Marine Shane Johnson will compete in the 2018 Four Races Starting April 29th.

Shane hopes to raise awareness & much needed funds for the Fisher House in Orlando, Florida. A Non profit that supports Veteran Families with a place to stay during medical issues while at the VA hospital.

The 4 Deserts is the world's leading rough-country endurance footrace series. A unique collection of world-class events that take place over 7 days and 250 kilometers in the largest and most forbidding deserts on the planet.

Competitors are challenged to go beyond the limits of their physical and mental endurance. Racing self-supported in the most inhospitable climates and formidable landscapes, they must carry all their own equipment and food and are only provided with drinking water and a place in a tent each night to rest.

The series, named again by TIME magazine in 2010 as one of the world's Top 10 Endurance Competitions, comprises the Atacama Crossing in Chile, the Gobi March in China, the Sahara Race in Egypt and The Last Desert in Antarctica.

Each of the 4 Deserts is completely unique. In every race competitors find themselves immersed in ancient cultures and surrounded by stunning scenery and indigenous wildlife. The 4 Deserts takes competitors on a journey through the driest, hottest, coldest and windiest places on earth, testing their limits both physically and mentally. Competitors complete the events as part of a new family -- individuals and teams from distant corners of the earth from different backgrounds, religions and cultures bonded together by a common mindset and a shared experience like no other. The 4 Deserts Series is a world class sporting event open to anyone who is ready for the journey of a lifetime.

Hike Across America powered by Clean the World and the Booyah Veteran Bus Project completed their 3,047 Mile Journey to raise awareness for Veteran Suicide, Veteran Homelessness, and inspire the common good of man to pursue your WHY with relentless dedication, motivation, and all out bad assery!

3,047 miles, 20 cities, 9 states, 8 tanks of gas, 10 cases of water, 1 pair of Aces shoes, 6 state parks, 3 hotels, 22 homeless shelters, 10,000 hygiene kits, 1,000 inspired homeless, over 10,000 found their Why, 50 hours of video, 15 videos, 1 documentary, 2 marathons, 8 In-N-Out visits, 1 pawn shop Nikon camera, a million mosquitoes and a thousand memories. Our Hike Across America mission is complete!

Businessman, Speaker, Marine Shane Johnson began his Hike Across America in Orlando on September 13th after being delayed by hurricane Irma.

Traveling across the country takes several days when you're driving, but running across in 65 days is a big challenge. Shane Johnson a Marine said challenges are what he lives for and as a veteran he said the work is never over even after leaving the battlefield.

"Our job is to continue to serve no matter what in any capacity forever once we take our oath to the country," said Johnson.

Johnson is also the founder of the Booyah Veteran Bus Project. Shane partnered with the Clean the World Foundation to launch this Hike Across America initiative. It targets homeless veterans and the challenges they face going from active duty to civilian life.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates more than 39,000 veterans are homeless. Johnson said the number is so high due to the lack of leaders like him pushing these veterans to strive for a better future.

"We are not doing enough of what I feel that I am trying to do. It's to truly engage to get in there create jobs, create businesses, inspire them to do things to get off their buts to make things happen because they have everything they need they just need more leaders to tell them that and then push them."

 

Along his journey Shane shared his inspirational message of hope, persistence & responsibility at homeless shelters in over 20 cities and handed out 10,000 hygiene kits provided by Clean The World to those in need.

During his visit to Phoenix Shane spoke to the  GoDaddy team at a hygiene kit building event. Over 800 kits were put together & shipped.

Local and National news organizations such as CBS, Fox, ABC, IHeart Radio and USA Today caught up with Shane along the way to help spread the mission.

On Oct 8th Shane began running rather than hiking the 22 miles. He also entered marathons and the Trails of Glory Desert Dash ultra-marathon at Red Rock Canyon, Las Vegas. A grueling 41.5 miles of rough desert terrain with varying elevations. On the final leg of Hike Across America Shane decided to run a epic 100 miles nonstop from Malibu to Oceanside.

Shane also participated in the Las Vegas Veterans Day Parade. This parade is second in size only to New York's parade.

After completing this challenge,  Johnson will run through 4 deserts next year, that's 155 miles in seven days. He also said he hopes to inspire others to face the challenges they hope to conquer.  

Shane  has spoken at major events and corporations including Wreathes Across America, GoDaddy, Caesars Entertainment, Central Florida School of Business & Clean The World.

Associated Press award winning photojournalist Ray Tharaldson is partnering with Full Sail University to produce the documentary "3,000 Miles For Your Why" about Shane's journey  across America.
