Purpose

Our mission is to partner with various Universities, medical professionals and institutions to help gather research on PTSD, TBI, SCI, and Orthotics & Prosthetics so we can better understand the difficulties faced by wounded or injured veterans daily.

 

In addition, the challenges we organize instill confidence and pride in the veterans that participate, better enabling them to realize their full potential and continue to contribute to helping others.

CHALLENGE

The CWVC Challenges are physically and psychologically demanding extreme outdoor efforts that incorporate in-field work and case studies to further the medical physiological, biomedical and pathological sciences associated with their injuries.

RESEARCH

CWVC Research objectives are to advance applied sciences associated with orthotics & prosthetics (O&P), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), and psychological trauma (PTSD); field research being the heart of CWVC Challenge expeditions.

PURPOSE

Our Challenge Warriors make a powerful impact on other veterans and patients who are still completing their rehabilitation programs or those who simply have lost hope. By their inspirational example, they demonstrate to other Combat Wounded and Injured among others that, despite their injuries, they too, can overcome seemingly insurmountable personal challenges.
