Army Specialist Chris Sanford

While on patrol in Iraq in 2008, Chris Sanford suffered severe injuries after an IED discharged near his platoon.

In addition to his physical injuries, Chris also suffers from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

His recovery is as inspiring as it is miraculous. Today Chris aspires to become a nurse in order to help other men and women who suffer from these types of injuries.

His wife Christine, a science teacher at Knox Jr. High in The Woodlands, has begun preparing him for his courses.

Agents from RE/MAX The Woodlands & Spring spearheaded the creation of a Texas Sentinel Team in North Houston, led by agents Carol Knott and Jacci Kilgore. They are joined by builders Ryland Homes who is taking the lead on construction portion of the project along with John Post Custom homes. In addition, The Woodlands Development Company has graciously donated the lot to this project. The Team has already begun fundraising with a paper shred event taking place on May 14th in The Woodlands. Groundbreaking for the Sanford’s new home is scheduled for September 14th.
