“What you guys do for injured soldiers is absolutely amazing. I had so much fun…. I was able to let go of all the things that had been weighing me down….I just wanted to personally thank you and all those that were responsible for making it happen. You may never know how much you have helped me but I will always carry your gracious love for soldiers with me. Thank you for all that you do.”

- Sergeant Joey Bozik (Retired), Injured Veteran from Iraqi Freedom

Stories like Joey’s are only made possible through your donations. Now in our 11th year, Challenge Aspen continues to expand the scope of its events and programs on an international scale, touching more and more lives. So much so, we’re counted on as an influential voice for disability awareness around the world. More importantly, we’re relied on by participants and their families to make dreams like the following come true.

In addition to making dreams come true for participants, our programs touch the lives of volunteers and inspire them in their professional work.

Words cannot express my profound gratitude to Challenge for providing our soldiers (and me) a once in a lifetime experience.  Rafting the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon was truly incredible.  However, the physical and personal gains made by the participants were at times even more inspiring than the landscape…. These memories give meaning to my tasks here in the hospital and impel me to continue seeking opportunities to care for wounded soldiers.
