a COOL operation

Pursuing an active and athletic lifestyle can sometimes be taken for granted. For those suffering from permanent physical disabilities pursuing such a lifestyle can be daunting and in some cases never achieved. Thanks to the Challenged Athlete's Foundation an active lifestyle for those permanently disabled is no longer an unachievable goal.

The Challenged Athletes Foundation's Operation Rebound is a top notch program that supports American military personnel, veterans and first responders who have suffered permanent physical disabilities. The foundation, established in 1997, realizes the athletic pursuits in all people with challenging disabilities and assists their athletic capabilities by providing opportunities that lead to success in sports and all phases of life.

The Operation offers access to funding for athletic expenses ranging from equipment, training, and competition. They also support funds for Military Medical Center Physical Training and sports clinics.

Here's to Operation Rebound for allowing those suffering from permanent physical disabilities the chance to pursue their athletic endeavors-stay positive, stay generous, and STAY COOL!
