Support our Wounded Warriors
Why: Help us to support Ride2Recovery, a charity benefiting the mental and physical rehabilitation of the men and women of our armed forces.
How: Pick an activity you love to do like biking, hiking, walking, running, jogging, dancing, and get your friends to sponsor you or join you. Turn in funds from your event no later than April 6th 2010. Please make your checks out to American Legion Auxiliary, Dept of PA and be sure to write in your memo box Ride2Recovery. Mail Checks to The Department of Pennsylvania American Legion Auxiliary, PO Box 1285, Camp Hill, Pa 17001.
Our Goal: To raise enough money so that every wounded Veteran in Pennsylvania can receive their own special bike retro-fitted just for them.
Ride2Recovery helps our Wounded Warriors improve their mental health as well as physical strengths; it is very useful tool to our Veterans with prosthetic limbs, (the Bikes are fitted just for them). Each individual has their own bike they train on which is theirs to keep after rehabbing from the hospital, these bikes that are made for each individuals needs are $6,000. Our goal is to sponsor at the minimum one bike. I would like to see each Unit send in at least $100.00. Look what we could do if we try. We could almost insure every wounded veteran returning from the war would be fitted for a bike at no cost to the Veteran.
