About this fundraiser

Hi 👋 I'm Chad and I'm a para- athlete who is competing in parasports. I recently won 3 gold medals for shot, discus and javelin at the 2026 Endeavor Games and am on the path to the Paralympics 2028 in LA!

I'm a retired Army vet, dad, grandad and husband. In September 2020 in less than 12 hours I went from an active stay at home dad, walking and driving, to neuropathy on the entire right side of my body and losing the ability to walk unassisted. After 3 weeks in the hospital, I was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder with no cure. 

Finding my new path in life hasn't been easy, but having goals and working to improve every day is how we grow. 

My new path has lead me here and to keep the momentum going I'm needing a throwing chair to train with and compete. 

If you would like to follow my journey: IG - parasports_chad and your donation will help make this dream come true!!

Come along with me to the LA games in 2028!!
