EPISODE 2: Candice Caesar
In this episode of The Lasting Mission, we’re joined by Candice Caesar, a U.S. Army veteran who overcame a traumatic brain injury and spinal cord damage sustained in a service-related accident. Despite being told she’d never walk again, Candice defied the odds by completing 24 full marathons, 100 half marathons across all 50 states, and multiple Boston Marathons. Introduced to archery by a friend, she quickly rose to prominence, earning a spot on the U.S. National Para-Archery Team and winning gold at the 2022 and 2023 Para Pan American Games. Whether you're a young girl, a female athlete, or a member of the military community, Candice’s journey proves that anything is possible with determination and support.
