Ride 2 Recovery - Making a Difference in the Lives of Wounded Warriors

The Ride 2 Recovery is produced by the Fitness Challenge Foundation, (501C3) in partnership with the Military and VA Volunteer Service Office, to benefit Mental and Physical Rehabilitation Programs that feature cycling as the core activity.

Stars to support Wounded Warriors on the Ride 2 Recovery

Actor's Adam Baldwin (NBC's Chuck, Full Metal Jacket) and Mike Vogel (Cloverfield),are joining wounded warriors, cycling legends and supporters in the Ride 2 Recovery fund-raising rides for cyclists along both coasts of the United States.

Held in partnership with the Fitness Challenge Foundation, the R2R will raise money to support Spinning® Recovery Labs and outdoor cycling programs at Military and VA locations around the U.S. to help injured veterans overcome obstacles they face. Cycling is an important part of the recovery and rehabilitation program for two reasons:
1.Cycling is an activity that almost all patients with mental and physical disabilities can participate.
2.Participation in the Ride 2 Recovery Program helps speed up the recovery and rehabilitation process.

Recently, R2R through its donations and partners Star Trac, Mad Dogg Athletics, and the VA placed the R2R Spinning® Recovery Labs at Bethesda Naval MC, West LA, Mayport Naval Base, Boston, Minneapolis, Nashville, Louisville, and San Francisco VA's.

The program will feature veterans, celebrities, athletes, and hundreds/thousands of participants coming together to help injured heroes return to a life free of the mental and physical toll that they have taken. Among those that are involved in the project include: Emmy and Golden Globe winner Gary Sinise, Ed Begley Jr., Afghanistan/ Iraq veterans Mike McNaughton and Major Jason Bryan (VeloNews fame), Olympic Silver Medalist and World Cycling Champion Mari Holden, former 7-11 rider Thomas Craven, and Olympic cyclist Wayne Stetina. Riders will donate a minimum amount in order to participate in a ride. Tour packages will be available to top fundraisers and special awards/prizes will also be given. Read More:
