Imagine your normal work day. You have folks that get on your nerves, folks that make it hard to come back the next day. Now throw in the dynamic of those at your work are recovering from both mental and physical battle wounds.
As a combat medic, Mike Barker saw the affect battle had on the psyche and morale of soldiers. He himself had mental demons flexing daily on him as he made his rounds with his brothers and sisters going through their own daily recovery.
Then one day, the banter shared on the hardwood or gridiron inspired Mike to help those recovering from burns and amputations to quiet those demons. The sports field brought his patients together, competitiveness tapped into, and the pain from sports started to bring healing. That inspiration led Mike to start Heroes Sports, a non-profit dedicated to bringing healing through sports to those dealing with the mental and physical affects of war-time injuries.
