Mission 22 – helping veterans through great support, including El Tour
At Mission 22, it’s personal.
Founded by and operated mostly by veterans, spouses of, or those who have immediate family members who have served in the US military, Mission 22 provides extensive personalized support and resources to help veterans and their families thrive.
Mission 22 recognizes that a veteran’s experience is a family experience, and families live through all of the ups and downs that soldiers returning home do. That’s why they developed support programs exclusively for spouses to take positive steps that renew their identities as individuals and remind them of the strengths they bring to their household.

Programs offer everything from biometric monitoring of stress, sleep, and activity levels; to meditation, coaching, exercise programs and a wellness supplement regimen, to learning resources and so much more.
Veterans can access one-on-one coaching and wellness programs that include mindfulness and fitness, while military spouses and families can find support through group programs and community events.
The non-profit’s ambassadors help connect people with resources in their own communities, and its virtual programs make support available across the country. Mission 22 also honors those lost to suicide and the lasting effects of military service through memorials that keep their stories visible.
America’s veterans make our society stronger and deserve a community worthy of all they have given and all that they have yet to achieve. El Tour is proud to have Mission 22 sharing their core values and mission at this year’s race.
