"I had some really hard times where at points I didn't have anyone to turn to," he said. "I want to be there for the guys and girls who are returning home now to lend a helping hand when they start hitting the lows that I did."
Double Dare race to benefit wounded warriors

Joseph Gross was devoted to serving in the U.S. Army. As a staff sergeant, he had seven years of active duty and was deployed twice.
His life changed in 2005 when he was wounded in Baghdad as a result of a suicide car bomb, losing his right leg below the knee, and suffering some burns and other small injuries.
Today, he is part of the Wounded Warrior Project, which oversees road races and other fundraising events including the WWP Double Dare, a 5K/10K/15K cross country race May 9 at Silver Springs Park, 5070 Stow Road, Stow. The start time is 9 a.m.
"People can run the 5K or 10K or they can take the double dare and do both, equaling 15K," Gross said.
