Review for Big Fish Foundation, Nederland, CO, USA
This organization’s unique strategy of putting vets in challenging situations surrounded by supportive community created an opportunity for growth that no other kind of experience could. After hours getting beyond my superficial, protective portrayal of myself, I got to (had to) see, show, and deal with who I am when I thought I was no longer able to continue on my own. The volunteers and other athletes helped me discover for myself that I could - and that I didn’t have to do it alone. Through opportunities to help and be helped, I left far more equipped for the days ahead. I went to show who I was, and left having discovered more about who I am.
