It was a long road from that hospital bed to the ballroom floor of Dancing With the Stars. Although it may not seem like much now, there were plenty of moments of self-doubt, fear and despair. Ultimately, I was lucky. Not every veteran who endures injuries like mine or worse is as fortunate. I was able to find a way through and carve out a path for myself, thanks to incredible support I received from friends, family and organizations. And I found a determination inside of me that gave me a new sense of purpose.
