My name is SSgt Wallace Fanene. I was injured by an IED while walking on patrol in a small Iraqi village. As a result of the blast I lost my right leg and right arm and after being deployed for over a year, I found myself waking up to the voice of my wife. Life has since been full of ups and downs and with the stress of dealing with my own issues, it is my family that has always been there to keep me grounded. Since recovering from my injuries I've returned to surfing, committed myself to a cross-fit journey, became a college student, revived a life of adventure through the outdoors and found life meaning in raising my two children. Life isn't easy missing two limbs but I thank God everyday for the opportunity to live each day for the people around me. The month of June is a very special month in my family, as we celebrate both the birthday of my youngest child as well as my own birthday. My wish is to take my family to Disneyland. I hope you choose to support our wish and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
