 With the 2013 Warrior Games kicking off Saturday, May 11th in Colorado Springs, Colorado, we caught up with U.S. Air Force Captain Mitchell Kiefer as he made final preparations for the Ultimate Champion Competition. The Ultimate Champion Competition combines diverse events designed to challenge the competitors and weigh similar to an Olympic pentathlon. Five total events. We have swimming, which is 50 meter swim. There's a 100 meter dash run, a shot put throw, 10 meter prone rifle shooting, and a 30 kilometer bike race. While inter-service competition is the order of business for the Warrior Games, Kiefer is grateful that his family will be able to attend to see him represent his service. Through the Fisher House's Hero Miles program, Kiefer was able to fly his family out to see him compete. The Hero Miles program takes donated frequent flyer miles and distributes them to wounded, injured, and ill service members and their families. This program is a partnership between the Fisher House and the Department of Defense. Kiefer said that the assistance provided by the Hero Miles program has made his Warrior Games experience even more special, while removing a significant financial burden from his family. They gave us two tickets and meals lodging provided for two of our family members, so that's how I got to have both my two younger daughters flying out here. So it wasn't such a big burden of cost for us, and that'll just make it so much more worthwhile to give it your all, you know, having the little ones who still think you're a Superman.
