Veteran Spotlight: Kelly Smith

Our Veteran Spotlight for September is Kelly Smith. Kelly says BlazeSports has allowed him to cope with his mental and physical disabilities through cycling, yoga, water aerobics, air rifle, bowling, and archery. He says BlazeSports coaches, instructors, and staff help him to create healthy habits that make life worth living again. Kelly says his fondest memory of Blaze is giving him an opportunity to volunteer, which is first in his life, and he enjoys helping others very much. Kelly is a veteran of the United States Army.

Thank you, Kelly, for your service and we look forward to continuing to getting to know you and serving you for many more years! 🔥
