NOTRE DAME, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame hosted Storm the Stadium to honor brave men and women who fought for the United States, Wednesday.

The Office of Military and Veteran’s Affairs hosted three courses that ranged in steps from 3,600 to 700.

"I was drawn in because I thought it'd be an awesome experience, to come out here and run all the stairs, and to support veterans and everyone who's served. Just a good opportunity to show your support and respect of veterans of this country." Michael Bleile, an Army veteran said.

The proceeds from the challenge go toward the University’s Military-connected students.
