The Wounded Warrior Disabled Sports Project (WWDSP), a partnership between the Wounded Warrior Project, and Disabled Sports USA and its chapters, has offered an unprecedented number of sports opportunities to our wounded service men and women across the country in 2006.
      Thanks to our sponsors and chapters, more than 340 Wounded Warriors and their families have participated in a record 35 events so far this year (as of press time), with over 25 more events planned.
      Highlights include: two Grand Canyon Rafting Experiences, offered by National Ability Center, Utah, and Challenge Aspen, Colorado; the Endeavor Games, UCO
Disabled Sports & Events, Oklahoma;
O&P Extremity Games by College Park; The Hartford Ski Spectacular; and participation in numerous ski programs in collaboration with 14 chapters.
      WWDSP also will be kicking off the I Can Do It; You Can Do It sports mentoring program expansion, training Wounded Warriors as instructors and volunteers of existing disability sports programming. WWDSP will be ensuring that Wounded Warriors being admitted to the new amputee center located at the Balboa Navy Medical Center in San Diego, as well as other centers, have full access to programs offered.
      Thank you to all who have participated in this busy and successful year so far. As well as sponsors Marine Corp Celebrity Invitational and Non-Commissioned Officers Association (NCOA). If your chapter wishes to take part in WWDSP 2007, or for more information, contact events@dsusa.org.
