Cathy Powersโ life turned upside down in 2013 when her son, Senior Airman Bryce Powers, died tragically.
Years later, the Gold Star mom discovered Wreaths Across America, a group that lays wreaths on the tombs of American soldiers which inspired her to change her life.
Cathy Powers, a USO of NC volunteer, is running the @Marine_Marathon with #TeamUSONC for the second year in October. The race is part of a 1,000-mile journey to honor her son, a fallen Airman.

This guy keeps coming up to the house. Been here off an on all week. Looks hungry and races back and forth in a skiddish, sneaky manner. Coyoteโs and Chihuahuaโs donโt really mix well. #wbtv#wsoctv#wcnc
