The LakeshoreFound in Birmingham is hosting several Ukrainian soldiers who were injured defending their country from Russia's war. Andrii Nasada, 31, lost an eye and two legs. Sgt. Mykhailo (Misha) Varvarych, 28, who also lost both legs in combat.
Ukrainian soldiers Andrii Nasada, 31, left, and his fellow soldier, Sgt. Mykhailo Varvarych, 28, paddle their kayaks on April 7, 2023, in the Lakeshore Foundation pool. On Friday morning, two Ukrainian soldiers were doing battle against each other in kayaks in a swimming pool at the Lakeshore Foundation in Birmingham.
Sitting in a cottage where they’re staying at the Lakeshore center, the two laughed and joked. They try to find humor to help them through their serious circumstances. After leaving Birmingham, Tuesday Varvarych and his fiancée, Iryna Botvynska, 19, will fly to Orlando. In Florida, Varvarych will have work done to adjust his prosthetic legs.
While at Lakeshore, the two Ukrainian solders have undergone rigorous workouts as part of Lakeshore’s fitness, recreation and sports programs. They’ve also learned to make it fun, as they did playing basketball from kayaks in the Lakeshore swimming pool.
