World T.E.A.M. Sports 2008 Face of America Bike Ride |
 |
On May 3rd & 4th, 2008 World T.E.A.M. Sports (The Exceptional Athlete Matters), working with the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, The National Navy Medical Center, The Soldiers Angel Foundation, The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund, and others will be hosting our 2008 Face of America Bike Ride, a two-day inclusive bike ride from Bethesda, MD to historic Gettysburg, PA to honor and assist servicemen and women who have been severely injured in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and any and all other servicemen and women as well.
This ride offers the unique opportunity for anybody to ride side by side with these heroes and personally encourage them and let them know that they can still be active athletes and still be a part of the TEAM.
There is no charge for any active duty servicemen or women, both able-bodied and disabled, to participate. There is a $ 400 minimum fundraising goal for all other participants. The money raised will pay for all the costs of the active duty participants, including accomodations, food, outreach, providing usage of bikes, cycling clinics,and all other costs associated with the ride.
For over 20 years, World T.E.A.M. Sports has produced inclusive sporting events all over the world, including a ride the length of Vietnam, teaming veterans from both sides of that war, The Face of America rides, and free inclusive sports and character-building programs for inner-city kids.
The 2008 Face of America ride is the sixth such ride, with previous rides including rides from Ground Zero in New York to the Pentagon in 2002 after the 9/11 tragedies.
World T.E.A.M. Sports uses the universal power of sports to create soul-stirring experiences by teaming people with disabilities with able-bodied people, forming a true T.E.A.M.
