ATLANTIC CITY-- A Navy Seal challenge took place tonight to benefit the families of those who have their lives to fight for America.

The U.D.T. Seal Association and Nacy Special Warfare Foundation conducted the race, which consisted of a half mile swim and three mile run.

It was all for a great cause and as Mark Baum explains, the race itself has a deeper meaning for the Navy Seal families.

"This is probably one of the most noble things a Navy seal can do-is to take care of the families of his fallen comrades. It also gives comfort to the men going into war knowing his family will be taken care of in this time of crisis," said Mark Baum, Chief of Operations and Director of the race.

The event took place on the Albany Ave. beach with the Honor Guard, Telford Dive and Rescue Team and Navy Seal Static Displays.
