More and more studies are showing the positive impact between exercise and healing the deep wounds combat can have on the lives of our military's veterans. The Catch A Lift Fund (CAL) is an organization that is "changing bodies, healing minds, and saving lives" through granted fitness programs nationwide. Catch A Lift is mentally and physically healing veterans one by one.

What happens when servicemembers retire or separate? The community moves on and often the veteran and his/her family members can feel lost as they try and assimilate into the new civilian world they are a part of.

Veterans & Athletes United (VAU) is an all-volunteer Veterans 501c3 non-profit organization. VAU is founded by combat veterans with disabilities and run by Veterans and caring professionals. In 2016 VAU was privileged to have a major impact on 485 disabled veterans, caregivers and family members through our various programs and retreats.

For groups like Team Red, White & Blue, the whole point is to bring veterans and the civilian community together. If you didn’t serve, we’re here to serve, they say.

Your courage, your determination and your drive all led you to serve America proudly. Those same characteristics will also lead to satisfaction and success in adaptive sports.

Aging well includes participating in activities you enjoy including recreation activities, physical activity, volunteering, and social events.
