Get a sneak peek below.  "My mom, sister and brother all benefitted from Hero Miles and Fisher House," Brad said. "It allowed my family to participate in my recovery. I learned braille with my sister. That was important because for myself, adapting to blindness isn't so difficult. I have no choice. I live it. The next best thing is to have my family there with me while I'm learning. It's brought us together in a big way."      Lt. Snyder receiving the torch from Prince Harry at the 2013 Warrior Games  Putting the "Fun" in Fundraiser Fundraisers are not always a straight forward bake sale or race. In Ramstein, Germany a group put on the "Galactic Showdown" where kids and adults alike got to shoot nerf guns at the bad guys of "Star Wars."  Galactic Showdown The event raised almost $6,000 for the two Fisher Houses in Landstuhl, Germany.    It's Running Season!
