Getting outdoors and removing barriers is huge. CAF created space for athletes like me to discover what’s possible through sport and community.

I’m proud of my victories, but more grateful to CAF for the chance to mentor athletes and help them blaze their own trails—that means the most.

CAF gave me more than sport—it gave me community. Newly injured, I knew no amputees. Through CAF, I found friends, family, and purpose greater than myself.

Before CAF, I weighed 310 lbs. and used an automatic wheelchair. Now I’ve lost 80 lbs., earned a Black Belt, opened a martial arts studio—Operation Rebound changed my life.
