Lance Cpl. Chuck Sketch, a blind, bilateral above-knee amputee, smiles at his coach after a lap during swim practice for the 2012 Marine Corps Trials at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., Feb. 15. Sketch, who lost his legs and eyesight as a result of a cancerous brain tumor, is participating for the second time in the Marine Corps Trials. Sketch is one of more than 300 injured Marines, veterans and allies competing in the second annual trials, which include swimming, wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball, track and field, archery, cycling and shooting. The top 50 performing Marines will earn the opportunity to compete in the Wounded Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, Colo., in May.
