Last week, more than 100 disabled veterans from across the country came to San Diego to participate in the National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic.
The clinic offers a variety of adaptive sports and recreational activities to all types of veterans, from those who are just recovering from their injuries to veteran athletes."U.S. Army, of course, 82nd Airborne Division. I got hurt while jumping, and I shattered my L1, L2 vertebrae, which left me paralyzed on impact," adaptive athlete Cece Mazyck told NBC 7's Lindsay Hood."I went to the 2012 Paralympic games, throwing the javelin," Mazyck.
Miazga, a former Paralympic swimmer, was born with cerebral palsy. He swam in the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games. But veterans don’t need to be Olympians to attend — just motivated. Robert Goo, a Navy veteran from New York, had some work to do before the clinic.
