\n<\/p>\n

The organization hits close to home as Cameron served two tours of duty for the United States Army and was in Iraq in 2003.<\/p>\n

The vision vision of WWP is to raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of severely injured service members; to help severely injured service members aid and assist each other; to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs.<\/p>\n

“I did two tours back to back when I was 18 years-old,”said Cameron. “I thank god that I came back 100% healthy both mentally and Physically.”<\/p>\n

“People do not understand what these men and woman go through and it took for my best friend to get killed and for a lot of my friends to get injured and then it hit me that I have a chance to help these people. Besides the physical injuries there is mental trauma. I recently got involved with the Wounded Warrior Project . It is the least I can do.”<\/p>\n

“A lot of these guys come home and just feel lost, physically incapable of doing simple tasks due to injury. I could go on for days, these guys just need all the support they can get and the wounded warrior project is definitely doing a good job helping them<\/p>\n

“By me fighting it raises awareness and hopefully I can help a lot. Sometimes these heroes need moral support more than anything financial. If it wasn’t for the military, I wouldn’t be boxing. One day in the desert, we were boxing and that led to me competing in some smoker tournaments in Korea.”<\/p>\n

When Cameron got back home he took up boxing and had a short amateur career but in that time he won the 2008 Golden Gloves tournament and was a semi-finalist in 2008 and 2010. He was a 2009 Metro finalist and a 2010 national PAL quarter-finalist at 152 pounds.<\/p>\n
