Hi,
Pedal Against PTSD will host our annual flagship ride, The Grind, on May 19th.
Our vision is to continue to raise awareness regarding the severity of PTSD and to share the benefits that the sport of cycling brings to all military veterans and their families that struggle with PTSD.
Our goal is to provide vets with quality bicycles, create a strong community outreach program and contribute funds back to research and development of PTSD.
We will need about 30 volunteers to help with registration and work water and aid stations.
All volunteers will receive a shirt, water, coffee, and lunch.
Please note, I will cap the number of volunteers to the first 40 who respond to this posting.
Thank you in advance!
If you are are company are interested in being at our event, you can join for free by donating some of your merchandise or time. If you would like to be an event sponsor, please feel free to contact me. The sports complex is very large and the more the merrier!

Mission Statement
EMPOWERING MILITARY AND VETERANS TO OVERCOME PTSD THROUGH THE SPORT OF CYCLING.
Description
Pedal Against PTSD was founded in 2013 by USMC combat veteran, Kevin Campagna, and Jessica Reich, President. When Kevin left the organization in 2016, Jessica felt a huge responsibility to the growing amount of supporters and veterans to continue the mission. Since then Pedal Against PTSD has grown by leaps and bounds; partnering with other organizations, corporations and nonprofits to bring awareness to PTSD and peace through cycling one pedal at a time.
Born in the gravel, Pedal Against PTSD is a grass roots movement that has expanded exponentially. Recognized in all 50 continental states, as well as certain countries overseas, our mission is to empower military and veterans to overcome PTSD through the sport of cycling.
Our vision is to continue to raise awareness regarding the severity of PTSD and to share the benefits that the sport of cycling brings to all military veterans and their families that struggle with PTSD.
Our goal is to provide vets with quality bicycles, create a strong community outreach program and contribute funds back to research and development of PTSD.
