Sara Wilkinson grew up the youngest child in a military family. Her upbringing helped her understand the stress, high cycle time of deployments, and frequent training trips, ultimately preparing her for a life married to Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson. Chad served 21 years as an active duty Navy SEAL with more than 10 deployments before he succumbed to the effects of PTSD, TBIs, and blast wave injuries; he died by suicide on October 29, 2018, leaving behind Sara and their two teenage children.

Sara has worked in the fitness industry for more than 20 years. Recruited by CrossFit, LLC., Sara is a course supervisor, and has spent almost the last decade traveling the globe committed to public speaking, upholding the standards of certification, and instilling community and camaraderie. She is committed to using her voice and story to change the narrative and numbers lost to this veteran suicide epidemic.

About The Navy SEAL Museum
The National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum is the only museum dedicated solely to preserving the history of the U.S. Navy SEALs and their predecessors. Located in Fort Pierce, Florida, the Museum resides on the training grounds of the original Navy combat divers, the Frogmen. Built to honor the men who served with fortitude and ingenuity, the Navy UDT-SEAL Museum first opened its doors on Veterans Day in 1985. From humble beginnings, the facility has experienced tremendous growth, achieving national stature in 2007. The main objective of the Museum remains the promotion of public education by providing the opportunity to explore the history of the Navy SEALs through interactive exhibits, while honoring the fallen at the SEAL Memorial and caring for those warriors’ families through Trident House Charities.
