I just wanted to share this group with y'all. I hope it's ok to share this on this forum.
>From the website : -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://longroadhomeproject.com/ This summer, five U.S. veterans will bicycle across our great nation to heal their wounds from war. This group of former service people includes men and women of diverse ages, backgrounds, and interests. *Empowered by their differences, these five veterans are united.* *United* in their effort to heal their wounds from war via a long distance ride. *United* to bring awareness to the fact that hundreds of thousands of service people often face difficulty returning home and, *United* to raise money to help other veterans live more fulfilling and meaningful lives. We are raising $75,000 to accomplish this year’s ride. Funds raised above this will go towards supporting future rides and Operation First Response <http://www.operationfirstresponse.com/>, a national non-profit dedicated to serve all branches of our nation’s Wounded Heroes and their families with personal and financial needs. The 4,200 mile journey begins July 15th near Tacoma and ends 90 days later in Washington D.C. By the end of these 90 days: *1,500* vets will have committed suicide. *270,000 *cases of PTSD will have been reported since the inception of the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. *50,000* veterans will have returned home physically wounded since 2001, and *300,000* vets will spend a night on the street. ---------------------------- >From the site, you can check the schedule and see where they are. They were gracious enough to let me ride along for a few miles. I rode with the hand cyclists and they were incredible. I was so inspired and in awe that I wanted to share this with you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
