Shawn Alladio
TEAM K38 - DEALER 54 - LEAD
Founder of K38, Shawn Alladio created the Never Quit Challenge on behalf of the men she has had the honor of training in our Nation's military communities.
The Never Quit Challenge is Born
One of her military students had a special request for an adventure, and the Never Quit Challenge was designed to match the man out of deep respect.
It was a perfect fit for this warrior. Agreed. The challenge was born with the drop of a coin into a hand, spit and respect gifted. A fitting adventure for the warrior spit and ethos of 'Never Quit', the selection process began and the Teams were created in honor of fallen friends.
The NQC was designed for these men, those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, those wounded while in the military, their families, surviving spouses and children, and in the eternal memory of those brothers and sisters who will not be forgotten on our watch.
'The Never Quit Challenge brings all of us together; as one community serving all communities, as Americans, Patriots, friends, brothers and sisters, contributors, veteran related charities and collectively unites us to participate and help those who have served on behalf of the greatest nation gifted by God. It's our turn, the Never Quit Challenge exemplifies the ethos of commitment, respect and service; the ending is the most important part, as the war effort winds down the homefront steps up, that's who we are." Says Shawn.
