Indian Motorcycle and the Veterans Charity Ride to Sturgis announces its third annual ‘motorcycle therapy’ adventure
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Indian Motorcycle has again joined forces with the “Veterans #charity Ride to Sturgis”, a nine-day riding adventure that provides veterans a chance to use motorcycle therapy as a way to decompress from the challenges of post-war life.
Twenty deserving veterans and veteran mentors will join this year’s Veterans #charity Ride to Sturgis. Additionally, organisers are offering two post-9/11 veteran heroes the chance to participate in the ride via the Hero’s Ride of a Lifetime program, which enables the public to nominate these two veterans. One space will be given to an ambulatory veteran motorcycle rider (proof of motorcycle license endorsement and sufficient riding experience required) and the other space will be given to a severely wounded or amputee veteran to ride as a sidecar passenger (no motorcycle experience required). Submissions are now being accepted online (here) with the selections to be announced July 4.
Rolling out of Los Angeles on Friday 28 July on Indian motorcycles, trikes and Champion Sidecars, the ride provides participating veterans the opportunity to work toward overcoming their post-war challenges while out on the open road.
Riding through the most scenic back roads of the western United States, veterans will not only experience the great outdoors and the beauty this country has to offer, but also make stops to meet with other veterans, supporters, riders and participate in various adjacent adventures.
Upon arrival in Sturgis on Saturday August 5, the group will be treated to a special Heroes Welcome before taking part in a week of activities that further solidify the brotherhood and sisterhood formed during the ride.
“We’ll spend over a week riding on America’s most beautiful roads, getting to know each other and helping each other through Motorcycle Therapy,” said David Frey, Veterans #charity Ride Founder. “The shared experience of serving brings us together, veteran to veteran, to help each other heal.”
The Veterans #charity Ride to Sturgis was conceived and developed by veteran Army Paratrooper Dave Frey and Emmy Award-winning producer and director Robert Manciero of Full Vision Productions, leveraging the therapeutic effects of motorcycle riding to create an adventure of a lifetime for wounded veterans.
Primary sponsors of the Veterans #charity Ride to Sturgis include #indianmotorcycle and Champion Sidecars & Trikes, with additional sponsorship and support provided by Monster Energy Drink, Cycle Gear, Nordic Components, Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys and the Sturgis Buffalo Chip.
“Indian Motorcycle has been a proud supporter of the Armed Forces dating back to its role as a military supplier during WWI,” said Reid Wilson, #indianmotorcycle Marketing Director. “It’s an honour to give back to our military veterans through our relationship with the Veterans #charity Ride to Sturgis and the incredible experience this ride provides.”
“Supporting our veterans by donating sidecars to accommodate amputee veterans in a safe, comfortable manner is something near and dear to our team and to me personally,” said Craig Arrojo, President of Champion Sidecars. “We are honoured to be associated with such a worthy event, and we look forward to continuing our #partnership with the Veterans #charity Ride for years to come.”
