I am heading to the West Coast to participate in my second Project Hero California Challenge. Over the course of this challenge, I will be cycling 375 miles in 6 days with a group that includes several combat injured Veterans. The 2026 Project Hero California Challenge (OCT 18th-24th) starts in Santa Cruz and ends in Port Hueneme. This multi-day therapeutic journey utilizes cycling as the primary tool for rehabilitation, recovery, and resilience for Veteran Heroes that suffer from PTSD, TBIs, and/or severe injuries sustained in combat. My goal is to raise $7,500 to help cover the event participation costs for some of the combat injured Veterans. 

While covering hundreds of miles, this incredible event brings together wounded, ill, and injured veterans, active duty military, first responders, and the general public for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience perseverance, strength, and courage.

In order to participate, I need to raise enough funds to cover the costs associated with attending by Wednesday, September 9th. Will you please help me ride in this unique and life-changing event with a donation to my page?

Thank you very much for any financial support you can provide to help our Veteran Heroes!dinjury achieve rehabilitatiorecoveand resilience in their daily lives.
