Paul Coleman is the lead organizer for the OpWalk Carolinas trips. His involvement with Operation Walk began in 2014 when he first participated in humanitarian trips with OpWalk Denver. While he has accompanied the Denver team on several occasions, it only took that single, first trip for him to immediately realize the rippling impact of helping just one individual begin to walk pain-free.

Since that initial trip more than a decade ago, he has helped the OpWalk Carolinas chapter not only launch but to grow and continue to impact lives globally these past several years. He recognizes, though, that this is more than just operating on someone. These humanitarian efforts are about freedom – freedom from pain, freedom to move, and freedom to live a more fulfilling life.
