Our first and major project has our President and founder, Scot King, peddling his bicycle to the capitals of the lower 48 states to raise awareness and support for our combat wounded veterans and their families.  The trek will take two years to complete with the first leg (May-October 2011) covering approximately 8,165 miles and the second trek (May-October 2012) adding an additional 12,000 miles.  Scot left the Oregon state capital steps on May 7, 2011 and is currently enroute through the northern-most states averaging 50-60 miles per day.

VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Of primary importance is our Veterans and their Family Assistance Program (VFAP).   This program is designed to directly help individual wounded veterans and their families on a one-on-one basis.  Sometimes a returning wounded veteran’s injuries are such that they can be a difficulty when adjusting to civilian life, not only for the veteran but also his/her family as well.  This program will assist them by paying the cost to provide family counseling where needed and to assist with special needs that are not covered by other sources.  It can also help with household emergencies such as replacing a water heater, car repairs, etc.

OPERATION MILITARY EMBRACE
Remember the Wounded Ride, Inc is pledged to support Operation Military Embrace, a non-profit organization whose mission is to show the wounded military how much the American people appreciate their service and their sacrifices and to raise the public’s awareness of the difficulties and challenges endured by our wounded military and their families.

Remember the Wounded Ride, Inc is also in the process of developing two additional programs:
Red, White and Blue Program:
To teach childeren in grades K-12 the importance of thanking Veterans for their service, what it means to serve our country and to promote patriotism in the young.
Biking with Disabilities Program:
To assist disabled Veterans to live a fulfilling active life by partnering with local bicycle shops and adaptive bicycling manufactures to provide discounts and educational classes for disabled Veterans who are struggling to adapt to an active lifestyle because of their disability.
