Wounded Warrior Project’s Soldier Ride

From March 24 — 27 and for the third consecutive year, over 30 wounded warriors from across the country will be biking the Lone Star State as part of Soldier Ride Texas. This year, civilian supporters will also have the chance to participate in a registered charity ride on March 27 in Dallas, Texas.

“Since Soldier Ride began, warrior participants have received such overwhelming public support as they ride through communities across the country,” said Steve Nardizzi, Wounded Warrior Project Executive Director. “Now, warriors and registered riders can cheer each other on as they cycle together for a common cause.”

Soldier Ride is a program of Wounded Warrior Project that provides key rehabilitation opportunities for wounded warriors and raises public awareness for those that have been severely injured during the current conflicts. All participants with a disability or missing a limb or limbs are provided the adaptive equipment customized to their individual needs.

Ride Details

The ride will begin at the Brook Army Medical Center, where many participating warriors are patients. Riders will then visit San Antonio and the Alamo, Austin, Fort Hood, and Dallas/Fort Worth where they will be joined by registered charity ride participants.

The registered ride was established to bring together local communities and provide an outlet for those who wish to support Soldier Ride and this generation of wounded warriors. Individuals interested in volunteering or joining the ride, which will kick-off on March 27 at 10:00am from the Dallas VA Medical Center, should visit sr.kintera.org/texaschallenge2010. Local businesses interested in sponsoring the ride may contact Maribeth Lipscomb, registered ride director, at 214-663-2433, or [email protected].

ITS Tactical will be supporting the ride with some schwag in the goodie bags, and will also be participating in the event.
