DESTIN, Fla. (Tribune News Service) For the second year in a row, Destin resident and Army veteran Geoff Speyrer completed a grueling 24-hour physical challenge to raise awareness and money for veteran suicide prevention.
The event is called SET 22, with the SET standing for strength, endurance, and training. Speyrer said the 22 refers to the number of veterans who take their lives every day.
Beginning at midnight Friday, Speyrer and fellow cyclists Sean Kamm and Kathleen Carrier made four loops by bike around Destin and Scenic Highway 98 for a total of 100 miles. About noon Saturday, he started off on foot with about a dozen other runners to make one more loop around Destin, racking up a 26.2-mile marathon.
