Today I wanted to share with you about a wonderful organization based in Colorado Springs that I have the privilege of working with. It is called Structure for Wounded Warriors. It is a non-profit “established to provide military personnel, veterans, and surviving spouses suffering with physical and/or emotional injuries alternative methods of care and programs that may not be covered by insurance.” They do an excellent job helping wounded warriors get the care they need to have the best chance of recovery.
Volunteers from Structure for Wounded Warriors were also the official massage therapists for the Air Force Wounded Warrior and the Marine Wounded Warrior Teams for the Warrior Games 2013. They continue to work with the Wounded Warrior Teams at training camps also. My first opportunity to serve with them was actually at one of the training camps during the summer. I was able to give adjustments in between their events and see some of the practice too. Then last week there was another training camp here in Colorado Springs and I got to serve as part of the rehabilitation team, working on the warriors in the evening after the camp. Both experiences were awesome.
It is inspiring to me to talk to these men and women about competing in their various events. All have had great challenges to overcome, but they don’t let that stop them. I am proud to have the opportunity to associate with these warriors and to help them through chiropractic care. I respect them for their courage to continue to move forward with their lives in spite of limitations.
Please take a moment to visit the Structure for Wounded Warriors website and learn more about this wonderful organization. Our soldiers and their families deserve all the support we can give them in return for their service protecting our country. Consider giving a donation or volunteering your time to help out. Thank you!
