Sweat for the Vets 5k 2022

Sat April 30 - Sun May 8 Bozeman, MT 59718 US Directions

At Warriors and Quiet Waters Foundation (WQW), we believe that we are part of the solution regarding our nation’s injured defenders by providing a respite from the stresses of war, the monotony of lengthy hospital stays and traditional therapy, and the many day-to-day struggles involved in their journey home. Learn more at our website, warriorsandquietwaters.org

In 2012, the Department of Defense (DOD) estimated more than 50,000 Americans from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom had been injured in combat. Among the wounded are some 16,000 severely injured casualties who would have died on the battlefield just a generation ago. But medical and technological advances are saving more than 90 percent of all those who fall in battle. The wounded statistics describe only those with physical wounds. The unseen wounds of war — including post-traumatic stress (PTS) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) — are not included and are harder to track. Since 2002, DOD has recorded more than 43,000 patients diagnosed with TBI, but many more may have gone undiagnosed. The Department of Veterans Affairs is taking in thousands of new cases of PTS each month. Because most of the wounded are young, they will need decades of help. WQW believes we are part of the solution regarding our nation’s injured defenders by providing a respite from the stresses of war, the monotony of lengthy hospital stays and traditional therapy, and the many day-to-day struggles involved in their journey home.
