Several of the team members also mentored at the annual NVWG Kids Day 
which is a mocked up event to allow kids under 18 years old to try some of
the events that the Veteran Athletes compete in.

No photos taken from this event for liability and safety - but you can find out more about this event 
and all of the event results  on the link below.

You can visit the official NVWG 2011 website and view the full story of these and all of the veteran athletes who participated.
