I'm riding the Valley Veterans Ride for Heroes (VVR4H) to support our veterans (and their families) who are struggling with trauma and the stresses of their Service experiences. The VVR4H donates all proceeds to Boulder Crest Foundation, which is committed to improving the physical, emotional, spiritual, and economic wellbeing of our nation's military, veterans, first responders, and their family members.
I will be attending a Warrior PATHH program ahead of riding VVR4H 2025 - and coming off hernia surgery repair - to ride the metric century distance on Saturday 9/6/25 (the day after my 33rd wedding anniversary). Warrior PATHH provides the training needed to transform struggle into STRENGTH and thrive in the aftermath of trauma. By SHIFTING the focus from symptom management to intentional growth, Warrior PATHH empowers participants to reclaim their lives with purpose, connection, and renewed strength for the future.
Twelve Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Posts organize this event and all the proceeds support this critical program.
Please join me in providing the resources for others to deal with combat stress, and life's trail of traumas.
All donations to the Valley Veterans Ride for Heroes are tax deductible, because Valley Veterans, Inc, is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
Valley Veterans Ride for Heroes 2025
Back for 2025 with three beautiful road routes in a rural part of the Shenandoah Valley, the Valley Veterans Ride for Heroes is better than ever.
Rockbridge Vineyard & Brewery, near Raphine, Virginia is our host for this year. It's just off I-81 with easy access from the interstate.
The routes will test your legs and showcase the beauty of the Shenandoah Valley. Our rest stops will offer a chance to meet our local Veterans and learn some history as you rest and recover for the next leg over the rolling hills and countryside.
We ride to support our combat veterans and their families who are dealing with the trauma and stress of their war experiences. All funds raised go to Boulder Crest Foundation, which is committed to improving the physical, emotional, spiritual, and economic wellbeing of our nation's military, veterans, first responders, and their family members. BCF programs ensure they have the opportunity to live lives of passion, purpose, and service at home. All the proceeds from the event support this critical program.
This benefit ride is a fundraiser hosted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) to raise money for Boulder Crest Foundation, a therapeutic and wellness center for combat veterans and their families who are dealing with the stresses of their combat experiences. After twenty years of continuous war in Afghanistan and Iraq, our combat veterans, many of whom have deployed multiple times, and their families are paying a terrible price for their service to the nation. Our event supports Boulder Crest Foundation's mission of turning "struggle into strength" and enables combat veterans to attend BCF's posttraumatic growth programs at no cost. Valley Veterans Ride for Heroes is organized by Valley Veterans, Inc., which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All donations to Valley Veterans Ride for Heroes are tax deductible.
