Wounded Wear and the Ironman Foundation - Raising funds for Wounded Warriors

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing Soonja Heber, who is an Ironman triathlete training to participate in the Ironman event in Louisville, KY on August 26, 2012. Soonja is raising money for Wounded Wear, a non-profit organization, which provides free clothing and clothing modifications to wounded warriors. The organization also raises awareness of the sacrifices made by America's wounded soldiers and their families.

Soonja herself, is a proud veteran and military spouse. And did I mention she's gorgeous? Here are some of my favorite shots from our shoot.

The Ironman Foundation was formed in 2003 as a 501c3 non-profit and makes philanthropic contributions of nearly ten million dollars to numerous beneficiaries across the globe. It's mission is "to leave Ironman's legacy through philanthropy, voluntarism, and grant making; by supporting various athletic, community, education, health, human services and public benefit non-profit organizations around the world."

As a military daughter and spouse, this cause is near and dear to my heart. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to donate my time to Soonja's efforts, and to help get the word out about Wounded Wear.

If you have a moment, I recommend watching this short video about the founder of Wounded Wear,  Lt. Jason Redman, a retired Navy Seal and wounded combat survivor.
