U.S. Navy Veteran, Robert Blanchard, is swimming a 24-hour solo event at Pace Bend Park outside of Austin, Texas to raise money for the Lone Survivor Foundation in an effort he's named "Swimming for Soldiers."

In this episode, he takes us back on his own journey with dreams of becoming a Navy Seal that were destroyed by injury and illness.

Failure only bred more desire to help others, especially veterans and their families.
