Of that, almost $1 million has come from the Legion Riders' Legacy Runs. The overall goal is to raise $20 million, to sustain the fund and fill the needs of those children. Thanks in part to the Legion Riders, the Legion has made a great start but still has a long way to go.  http://www.legion.org/riders/legacy
