SCOT'S RIDE
Former Marine Corporal Scot King, a native of Portland Oregon and President and Founder of RTWR, will begin the first leg of his 48 state bicycle trek on Saturday, May 7, 2011 on the steps of Oregon State Capital in Salem, Oregon to raise awareness and funds for our military personnel wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan and their families. Scot's goal is to raise 1 million dollars in the 2 years of the ride.Contributions may be made on-line through PayPal by clicking on the Purple Heart above or by mail to the address below (click on the "Contact Us" link to the left).
If you would be willing to host Scot with a place to stay or a meal when he is in your area, plkease click on the animated bike rider on the left to submit the form.
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. On Sunday Morning May 8th, Scot will embark from the Gateway Elks Lodge in Portland and head north to Washington State to begin the first leg of his ride. As part of the ride, Scot will be interviewing combat wounded Veterans and collecting their stories for a series of books that will chronicle their experiences. In each state, a combat wounded Veteran of that state will be selected to be honored for his/her service and to represent all Veterans of that state. At each state capital, Scot will request a state flag from the governor's office. These flags will be brought back to Portland, OR where they will be presented in the Veterans Memorial Colisium during a special ceremony at the end of the ride. Each flag will represent the combat wounded veterans of its respective state and their service to our country.
