Warrior Games Conversations: Mario Alcala
<p>Recorded at the Warrior Games in San Antonio, host Kate Dudley sits down with Hope For The Warriors MVP Outreach Manager and former Marine Mario Alcala to discuss the power of connection, resilience, and finding purpose after service. </p><br><p>Mario opens up about his own journey from competing in the Marine Corps Trials and navigating a difficult transition out of the military in 2012 while raising two young sons, to receiving a PTSD diagnosis and finding support through HOPE. He shares how that support evolved into years of involvement with the organization, ultimately leading him from client to volunteer to staff member.</p><br><p>The conversation also explores Mario's health journey, including a brain tumor, thyroid cancer diagnosis, and living with stage IV cancer that has spread to his lungs. Through it all, Mario credits faith, family, and fellow veterans for helping him heal.

Headfirst Into Purpose: The Para Skeleton Movement
<p>In this powerful episode of the HOPE podcast, host Kate Dudley sits down with U.S. Para Sliding Development Director Kim Seevers from Lake Placid during a stop on the inaugural Para Skeleton Legacy Tour. </p><br><p>Born out of the energy of the Invictus Games, this international tour is creating new pathways for veterans and adaptive athletes to stay connected to sport, purpose, and community. From Norway to Switzerland to the U.S., athletes are not only learning new tracks, but they’re also rediscovering confidence, identity, and what’s possible after injury.</p><br><p>Kim shares how the tour came to life, why expanding beyond Lake Placid was critical, and how partnerships, including Hope For The Warriors, helped remove financial barriers so athletes could fully commit to the experience.</p><br><p>More than just a sport, Para Skeleton offers something deeper: a powerful mix of adrenaline, focus, and healing. As Kim explains, it mirrors the intensity of combat while also demanding mindfulness, discipline, and control.</p><br><p>With eyes set on growing the sport globally, and a long-term goal of reaching the Paralympic Games, this movement is just getting started.</p><p><strong>0:00</strong> – Welcome from Lake Placid & intro to the Legacy Tour</p><p><strong>1:10</strong> – How the Invictus Games sparked the movement</p><p><strong>3:15</strong> – Why para skeleton is so powerful (and accessible for beginners)</p><p><strong>5:20</strong> – Taking the tour global: Norway, Switzerland & beyond</p><p><strong>7:10</strong> – Why international experience matters for athlete growth</p><p><strong>9:00</strong> – How Hope For The Warriors helped fund the tour</p><p><strong>11:15</strong> – Athlete impact: confidence, identity & recovery</p><p><strong>14:00</strong> – The mental + physical transformation through sport</p><p><strong>16:10</strong> – Why veterans are drawn to sliding sports (adrenaline + focus)</p><p><strong>18:30</strong> – Chaos vs. control: the meditative side of skeleton</p><p><strong>20:30</strong> – Camaraderie and connection among military athletes</p><p><strong>22:30</strong> – David Snipes’ story: resilience, innovation & breaking barriers</p><p><strong>27:00</strong> – The future: World Cup dreams & Paralympic goals</p><p><strong>30:00</strong> – Why these stories matter—and what we can all take away</p><p><strong>32:00</strong> – Closing + (maybe) taking a run down the track</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
