Ride to Recovery: Join Us
Announcement
Ride to Recovery: Join Us
The Ride 2 Recovery (R2R) program, ride2recovery.com, helps make a difference in the lives of vets by assisting in their mental and physical rehabilitation. Funds raised support the participation of wounded warriors and vets in R2R challenge rides and provide bikes, technical equipment, clinics, and outings.

This spring and summer GAH sponsored riders with "invisible injuries" in the Don’t Mess with Texas Challenge, April 6-11; the Memorial Challenge, from Whipple Field on Ft. Meyer to Virginia Beach, May 31-June 5; and the Rocky Mountain Challenge, July 31-August 5. GAH Director of Military Outreach and Education Andrew Pogany participated in all three rides and recruited other veterans to the GAH team. You can see photos from the rides and Andrew's comments in our News section.

For a taste of the experience, watch here

If you are a wounded warrior who would like to ride in one of these challenges, or an individual or corporate employee who would like to sponsor a rider, please e-mail Andrew Pogany at gapogany@giveanhour.org. It costs $1,100 per rider.

We thank Sydex Technologies and the Galvin Family for their generous donations to this program as well as Jennie Curtis for her generous donation and enthusiastic support.
