Al Ransom along with his wife, Cathie are the owners of both Los Willows and Paradise Falls Wedding Estate. Al is a retired Marine Colonel having served thirty years as an aviator. The Ransom's are huge supporter of Wounded Warriors and host an annual Wounded Warrior Wedding on their estate. Both Al and his wife Cathie personally select, with the help of Balboa Naval Hospital, a deserving couple that will receive an entirely free wedding celebration with a private ceremony and reception on the grounds of their wedding estates. With the support of the local Wedding Professionals and the Community, the Ransom's are able to give these amazing couples the wedding of their dreams.
This year, they have an amazing couple that will be saying I Do in March 2016 at Paradise Falls in Oceanside, California.
To make sure that these couples have the wedding of their dreams we are reaching out to people like you to help fund their honeymoon or future home.
Please take a moment to read the inspiring story of Toran Gaal and, hopefully, donate any amount you can to help say Thank You to Toran for his service and sacrifice.
Toran’s pre-injury story is as inspiring as his post-injury story. He has overcome seemingly insurmountable odds and achieved what they said could not be done.
After spending months learning how to talk again, Toran set out to walk again. His type of amputation is unique and extremely rare. Having lost his leg, hip, and part of his pelvis on one side and his leg above the knee on the other side, he was told that his life would be spent in a wheelchair.
Not only did Toran defy the odds and learn how to walk on specially designed prosthetics, but he took it to the extreme and set his sights on competing. Not just any competitions – he became a marathoner, a CrossFit competitor, and a surf competitor. He does more in a day, physically than most of us will do in a month. He spends six days a week training, and when he isn’t training, he works on perfecting his message.
Toran’s message of hope, courage, overcoming challenges and adopting a never give up attitude is one that everyone should hear. His message serves as a reminder of how big hard work can pay off and how a positive attitude can influence results. He also speaks of moving forward after loss and building a meaningful life in honor of those who no longer have that option.
Hearing Toran’s story leaves no doubt about the power of the human spirit. Anything is possible, and the only limits in life are the ones we set for ourselves.
