Why does he do it? Two reasons. He has found healing on the water (7 traumatic brain injuries). The second reason is to raise awareness of veterans struggling with traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress and the epidemic of veteran suicide. This mission, he is paddleboarding the 2019 Everglades Challenge, a 300-mile grueling race through alligator and snake infested waters.
I only JUST heard about this organization, but I heartily give them 5 stars. Any group that offers opportunities to our veterans to help them regain anything they may have lost deserves our support and respect. Remember, every day 22 veterans commit suicide. That’s 22 too many. Groups like this don’t just offer recreation, they offer life saving therapy without psychiatrists and psychotropic medications. Thank you for your service to our veterans!
