I connected with the most amazing group of human beings – The All Veterans Group. These heroic brave men and women have fought for our country, risked their lives, and still find the time (whether on active duty or retired) to help people live their best lives. They work with veterans, families, and people with disabilities heal from trauma, experience life in a new way, and are just a ton of fun.
I had the distinct privilege to meet Mike Elliott who founded most of the team and are all retired from the Golden Knights Parachute Team. The Golden Knights are a USA Army parachute team and they are a demonstration and competition parachute team. They provide hope, inspiration, and true patriotism for all those who have served in the Armed Forces.
Mike formed the All Veterans Group where they jump professionally for corporate events, major sports games, and so much more. The team is comprised of gold medalists, record holders, and community leaders. It is a team with a purpose! As with any beautiful story and mission it usually starts with tragedy. One of Mike’s best friends, Dave Wherley, took his own life suffering from PTSD in 2013. After his liked ended, Mike, dedicate his life to continuing his legacy.

These folks are the best of the best and we were strategizing techniques for skydiving, which I am so excited to take part in October. When I was down there in Fayetteville, North Carolina – we thought… Hey, let’s go racecar driving!
This team is so much fun, but they are professional to the highest level. The minute logistics and safety came into play… It’s all business. I love meeting new and incredible people and I’ve adopted the entire team!
There are so many ways to heal from trauma and this is one Beautiful Way the entire team gives back to community.
How do you give back to your community?
