Rising From The Darkness: Overcoming PTSD Through Physical Activity With Eric Beach
Through training and competition, one can find a healthy release to the stresses found post-military separation. Eric Beach is a US Army Veteran who fell into a dark and dangerous downward spiral after leaving the military. What kickstarted Eric’s healing process was searching for the same sense of physical exertion and camaraderie he had in the military. This led him to join IRONMAN and became a cast member on NBC’s Quest for Kona. Today, Eric joins Robert "Fireman Rob" Verhelst to share his story of how he struggled with cancer and rose from the darkness to co-found Project Echelon, an organization that aims to aid fellow army veterans and their families find healing by using physical activity through endurance sport as an outlet.
