LOVELAND, Ohio (Brad Underwood) -- Local veterans say thousands of dollars worth of water sports equipment has been stolen preventing them from helping from each other. Team River Runner helps veterans across the country, but in Loveland the tools they need are missing. Team River Runner has more than 50 chapter locations across the country; Loveland is just one of two in the state of Ohio. The mission is to create an environment of adventure and healing for veterans returning from war. Now that mission is facing even bigger challenges. Veterans like Marine Corporal Jonathan Stone call it the "river to recovery." Sharing their stories, accomplishing new goals, together they find peace on the water. Inside the missing trailer, 14 kayaks, more than a dozen helmets and jackets and water safety related items totaling $14,000. For Marine Corporal Stone, Team River Runner has given him the chance to meet other veterans who struggle with post-traumatic stress."It made me feel confident to go to my VA therapist and my loved ones and say look, this is what I've actually gone through in the Marine Corps," said Stone. "This is what I've seen and this is what's happened to me, and it's changed my life since then." Marine Corporal Stone served in Iraq in the late 1990's and says his three years of floating down the river have helped him adjust to civilian life more than anything else he's done. "It brings back those memories and it makes us feel the kind of use that we did when we joined the military," said Corporal Stone. "It restores that to our lives that we have missed." Next month is the Annual Kayak Football event for Team River Runner and at the moment they don't have the boats to make it happen. Team River Runner says they've spread the word around the canoeing and kayaking community about the stolen items hoping someone will spot them. These aren't items that are going to show up at the neighborhood pawn shop. A report has been filed and Miami Township Police say they are currently investigation the theft. If you have any information about the items taken please call Miami Township Police.Follow Brad Underwood on Twitter , and LIKE him on .Follow us on Twitter and LIKE us on for updates!
