I am fundraising to be able to participate in the 2025 California Challenge starting on October 19. This multi-day therapeutic journey utilizes cycling as the primary tool for rehabilitation, recovery, and resilience. 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.

Your support and donations assist Project Hero in building and donating adaptive bikes as well as host cycling events throughout the nation to supporting community-based rehabilitation and recovery programs and important medical and clinical research, Project Hero is raising awareness of the national PTSD mental health crisis and making a difference in the lives of thousands of Veterans and First Responders, as well as their families and communities.

Their programs have helped more than 10,000 Veterans and First Responders through cycling-based programs and other events since 2008.  Project Hero participants record elimination of and decreases in use of prescription drugs of as much as 65 percent, greater injury recovery rates, improved sleep habits and overall improvement in daily life functions.

Project Hero has built more than 200 adaptive bikes for injured Veterans, donated more than 2,500 bikes to Veterans and logged more than 30,000 bicycling miles in 30 states and 6 countries to bring hope, recovery and resilience in support of America’s Healing Heroes. 

In order to participate, I need to raise enough funds to cover the costs associated with attending by Wednesday, September 3. Will you please help me ride in this unique and life-changing event with a donation to my page?

Thank you very much for your support!
