Chris Chatwin began his military career with the Marines as a 0311and after 8 years of dedicated service he then joined the Army as an Infantryman where he continued his service for several more years. 

Chris went on five combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Over the course of his deployments, he sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI). In 2012, Chris was diagnosed with neuro, cardio, pulmonary, and orthopedic sarcoidosis caused from the extended exposure to burn pits during his deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. The condition causes bi-lateral leg limb salvage, left arm and hand limb salvage, hemi-paralysis, and internal injuries. This incurable disease affects the cells in organs throughout the body. 

Chris is a father to three beautiful children and is now struggling to make financial ends meet due to his physical disabilities. This decorated war hero needs our help as he battles this disease.
