Athletics has changed my life - because of athletics I have gained acceptance and respect from society. In return my self confidence and self esteem has grown tremendously.This has been a life changing experience for me.
I want to be able to share this with others - there are so many veterans who can benefit from participating in athletics.
There are over 50,000 Veteran amputees in America - it's been proven through research, that athletic training provides an opportunity to facilitate the integration of these veterans back into the local community. I want to build a place where they can train n CrossFit, MMA and Kickboxing; a place where they can train side by side with traditional athletes.
If each signer of my petition can contribute just $10 - I can build such a place.
We will have traditional equipment such as barbells, kettlebells, medicine balls etc.
However, adaptive athletes sometimes require specialized equipment.
As one can imagine this equipment is very expensive!!!
Along with the right equipment we will have the right staff:
certified coaches
physical therapists
behavioral specialists
