'Elite wildland firefighters, known as Smokejumpers, share common bonds given the difficult tasks and perils they face, and from the time they spend together training and around campfires. This is the story of how smokejumper Kenneth Perry turned the toughest day of his life into something inspirational, leading to a 52-mile marathon benefitting fallen firefighters and their families, through the Wildland Firefighter Foundation.   We learned about Kenneth\'s story after making a donation of SPAM® brand products to a fundraiser for the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. Though we were introduced to SPAM®\'s deep role in smokejumper lore, Kenneth\'s story is the inspiration we wanted to share.
