Staff Sgt. Allaijah Churchwell has dedicated nearly nine years to the Army, with deployments spanning Poland in 2018 and Australia in 2023.

However, his life took a drastic turn on November 23, 2023, when he was struck by another service member riding his E-bike to do PT, suffering severe injuries—including fractures in both femurs, five broken ribs, and a ruptured spleen. The aftermath left Staff Sgt.
Churchwell feeling isolated and disconnected from those around him.

Quote:
“It wasn’t until I arrived at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii SRU, that I found a renewed sense of purpose through adaptive sports. While training alongside other soldiers facing physical challenges, I rediscovered camaraderie and the motivation to push forward.”
