Tonight begins my three part series on U.S. Paralympics Cycling participants who competed in Huntsville, Alabama, over the weekend. I wanted to hear the stories from these Paralympian warriors, so I did interview after interview to get the message across, there is life after limb loss and spinal cord issues/injuries! Tonight, I’ll begin with Army veteran and Operation Rebound: CAF beneficiary JW Moreno. I was introduced to JW by my friend, Van Booth. As many of you know, Van walked coast to coast, from California to South Carolina, in 2019 to bring awareness to veteran PTS/PTSD suicide and to support Freedom Sings USA and Operation Song. In a continuation of his mission, Van suggested that I talk with JW and I did. That first conversation led us to this past Saturday as I interviewed JW and many others. Having just finished his amputation surgery today, I especially hope the encouraging and inspiring messages from these elite athletes will be an encouragement to my 15-year-old friend, Walker Bilyou of Walker's Journey, as he recovers. We wish you a speedy recovery, Walker! Any of the guys who joined me on the show will be happy to connect with you!
