My Nonprofit Reviews

In 2014 I became involved with the BVA as a volunteer. My friend and fellow Army Ranger Danny Wallace introduced me to the organization through OPS (Operation Peer Support). I lived in North Georgia and was able to coordinate along with some fellow retirees some mountaineering training at Camp Frank D. Merrill in Dahlonega Georgia. There were American and British Blinded veterans that participated in the week long events.
Meeting those veterans and seeing their enthusiasm climbing and rappelling was incredibly inspiring I was hooked. Since then I have travelled all over the United States volunteering with Operation Peer Support. From California to DC meeting and guiding these incredible veterans has been an honor and a privilege.
The BVA truly does care about their veterans and goes above and beyond to continue to challenge these veterans and give them the opportunities to continue to live an adventurous lifestyle showing that the only boundaries there are, are the ones we create.
