2011 SPS Cyclists

 

June 17, 2011 -- SPS Cyclists climbing the Cascade Mountains, WA

 


May 2011 -- On a wet training day, St. Paul's School, Concord, NH

 

One week after final exams end in early June, our group of seven St. Paul’s School students will leave from Seattle, Washington on a 44-day, 3,425 mile bicycle journey across the United States to raise money for the charity, Ride 2 Recovery.

Our goal -- $100,000!!

 

Ride 2 Recovery is a program to benefit mental and physical rehabilitation programs for wounded US veterans and features cycling as the core activity. Its mission is to improve the health and wellness of wounded vets in Spinning Recovery Labs at Military and VA locations, and to support the vets in numerous outdoor cycling events around the US. Over 90% of each dollar donated to R2R goes directly to helping wounded soldiers. 

 

 

One of the biggest concerns of our country is treating the mental and physical issues our troops face upon returning home. We owe them a debt of gratitude and that includes providing the best possible treatment and care. R2R incorporates cycling as a part of that treatment. Cycling has proven to be extremely effective not only in the rehabilitation of physical injuries, but also mental injuries (such as PTSD or TBI). Since it’s inception, R2R has helped thousands of veterans who have in turn ridden thousands of miles on their own road to recovery.

 

We will arrive on the Atlantic Coast in late July with thousands of miles under our wheels, and a sense of accomplishment, having spread awareness of this remarkable program. Without your help, it would not be possible.
