Thank You from Wounded Warrior Project

We recently received this letter from Wounded Warrior Project thanking DumBell Fitness and our recruits for donations raised from the Memorial Day Beach Boot Camp. Thank you to all who contributed to this fantastic charity! 


*************************************

Dear caring friend, 


Paul De La Cerda is one of the many injured warriors you have graciously supported through Wounded Warrior Project (WWP).

Paul sustained invisible battlefield injuries, like more than 300,000 service members who have fought for our freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Paul's case, he suffered from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) when his vehicle was hit during a mission in Iraq.

"When I came to, I couldn't see anything. I didn't know it at the time, but I suffered a traumatic brain injury."

Over six years later, Paul's recovery is still ongoing. He has difficulty recalling events and people from his past and sometimes has trouble retaining information. But with the help from WWP supporters like you, Paul is fighting the lingering effects of the TBI and refuses to quit.

"I so enjoy being involved with the Wounded Warrior Project. As an ex-solider, I want to give back."

Along with Paul, I salute you for all you do to show your appreciation for the selfless heroes who have done everything to protect us.

 

With gratitude for all who serve,



Steven Nardizzi
Executive Director
Wounded Warrior Project
