Minton Lodge
The Minton Lodge is a beautiful retreat home previously owned and lived-in by Josh Minton. He always enjoyed having guests and ensured he would have enough space for everyone.
The property is surrounded by 49 wooded acres in Aberdeen, Ohio, only a few miles away from the Ohio River and Kentucky border. The house offers a peaceful and quiet setting to get away to. We welcome anyone affected by cancer, active duty and veterans of the armed services, and their family members.

About Josh Minton
Josh Minton entered the military in 2006, graduated from West Point in 2010 where he played collegiately for the Army Rugby team. He completed a deployment to Afghanistan in 2012-2013 with Bravo Battery, 4th Battalion, 319th Field Artillery Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team and medically retired from the Army in 2018. He was awarded the Army Ranger Tab, Combat Action Badge, Parachutist Badge, Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal and three Army Achievement Medals.
At 27, he was diagnosed with a rare and incurable form of neuroendocrine cancer, after which he became very active with the Ulman Foundation and Ruck to Remember, a 60-mile march from Harper’s Ferry to Arlington National Cemetery. He chose to live life to its fullest over the next 5 years – however cancer took his body at the age of 32. His legacy continues to live on through his foundation and the Minton Lodge.

We appreciate the efforts! That hillside looking like that was bothering me every time I went up and down the driveway. So glad to get that cleaned up as well as the other projects you all tackled. Thanks so much!
Today, on Rare Disease Day 💙, we honor and remember Josh Minton — a life that continues to inspire love, awareness, and compassion.
Rare diseases affect millions, yet each story is deeply personal. Josh’s journey reminds us why awareness matters, why research is vital, and why no family should walk this path alone. His memory lives on through the conversations we have, the support we give, and the hope we share with others facing rare conditions.
In loving memory, we raise our voices, spread awareness, and stand beside every family navigating the rare disease journey.

This week we came across a post from Josh ❤️. It amazes me how aware he was of family members who had lost loved ones and how he always held space for their grief.
Bob and I truly cherish hearing the memories shared by those who knew him. Each story reminds us of the lives he touched and the compassion he carried.
That’s why the videos shared for Behind the Shield mean so much to us — they preserve his voice, his heart, and the impact he made. We are deeply grateful to everyone who continues to share and remember him. ... See MoreSee Less

Having rucked with him just for the last 12 ' ish' miles, and then being in Josh's life for those last few year really brings home the message. One of a kind
2017 was the year I met Josh on K2K and he talked about the ruck during our week long journey down to The Keys. A few of us from the ride went to surprise him on the last day of the ruck. He was exhausted, but when he saw us there, his whole face changed. Meeting him on that final stretch and seeing how much it meant to him that we showed up is a memory I’ll always hold close. He was so grateful and so strong. 💪 I’m forever thankful to have shared that moment. ❤️
