Summary
This year’s Freedom for Fighters 5K shattered records and touched hearts, turning a run into a powerful ritual of release as runners dropped symbolic weights representing guilt, shame, and trauma. Founded by Tammy and Mark Barney after losing their son Jason—a veteran—to suicide in 2013, the event now draws thousands to Mountain Home’s Legacy Park, uniting veterans, families, and supporters in a community-wide commitment to mental health awareness and healing. With vendors, speakers, and seven-year regulars like Tessa Cummins reaffirming their devotion, the event proves that no one has to face their struggles alone—and that Jason’s legacy of never leaving a brother behind lives on through every step taken together.
