Wounded Soldiers Cycle from Fayetteville to Charlotte

Soldier Ride is a rehabilitative cycling program of the Wounded Warrior
Project (WWP). Rides serve as both physical and emotional healing
opportunities for wounded warriors, and raise public awareness for those that
have been severely injured during the current war on terror.

Wounded Warrior Project is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to honor
and empower wounded warriors. WWP offers services and programs like benefits
and career counseling, advocacy initiatives and combat stress seminars to help
warriors on the road back to independent and productive lifestyles. All

the ride.
