Every step means support for our Trauma Patients! 💙🚶

Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune hosted the annual Trauma Survivors Walk on May 20, 2026, in honor of the national Trauma Survivors Day. Today’s gathering, organized by Trauma Nurse Coordinator Leah Graves, gave former trauma patients an opportunity to speak about their journey following a traumatic injury.

“What happened to us may have been physically traumatic, but the real battle is mental,” said retired Senior Chief Sean Howard, a trauma survivor. “Don’t harbor those bad feelings, seek help and reach out if you need it.”

Following remarks, NMCCL staff joined the trauma survivors in a one=mile walk from the flag poles to the helipad and back. The event is part of an annual observance established n 2014 by the American Trauma Society.

“The staff at NMCCL was very accommodating when my mother was brought here after her traumatic injury,” said Michael Carafe. “That speaks volumes to the nature of what you all do here at the medical center. Thank you to everyone who works here.”

NMCCL is part of the Trauma Survivors Network, a group established by the American Trauma Society to ensure trauma survivors can connect with others with similar stories.

Retired Marine Corps Captain Andrew Hairston suffered a traumatic injury in 2021 and is now an avid paracyclist. Hairston has returned to NMCCL several times to participate in the Trauma Survivors Day walk.

“Trauma recovery is a roller coaster ride, but you get what you put out, so make the most of it,” Hairston said.

Thank you to all of those who came out today to celebrate our incredible trauma survivors!
