Major James Creedon, an officer in the United States Army Reserves and an attorney with Creedon PLLC in Frisco, recently completed a 170-mile foot race to raise money for veterans. Run over seven days, the Grand to Grand Ultra is a self-supported stage race in which participants carry their entire supply of materials on their backs as they trek from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon to the Grand Staircase in Utah. Creedon successfully completed what has been listed as one of the hardest running races in North America to raise money for GallantFew, a Texas charity dedicated to assisting veterans with a peaceful, successful transition from military service to a civilian life filled with hope and purpose.

Speaking of his accomplishment, Creedon said "as difficult as the race was, it was nothing compared to some of the obstacles our servicemembers face as they complete their service and return to civilian life. GallantFew has made a remarkable contribution to veteran success, and I am proud to support them in their efforts." As to the race itself, Creedon made clear that running for such a distance is more than an individual feat. "With runners from 26 different countries working together for a common goal, I did my best to carry my share and to represent the Army values and the spirit of Texas. Texans have a long history of strong-willed determination to succeed, but we always look out for our neighbors and share the load as a family. We saw it recently in Houston, and I believe every person I ran with will go home knowing that a Texan will always do their best to help others."

As a graduate of the U.S. Army Ranger School, and as a New York City paramedic who was a rescue worker on September 11th, 2001, Creedon is no stranger to challenges or to service in a larger cause. He recently completed two years as an appointed member of the McKinney Armed Services Memorial Board, and his law firm Creedon PLLC provides pro bono legal services to individuals in need. This most recent effort, however, gained national attention and was covered in national online and print media such as Military Times. "I sincerely hope I've inspired other members of my community to take on a challenge to support those in need, and I encourage people to visit my donation site to make a contribution to GallantFew."
