This
April 24-26, 2015, I will be participating in the Face of America, an
inspiring, two-day, 110-mile bicycle and hand cycle ride from the
Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia to the historic Civil War battlefields
of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This annual ride from national non-profit
World T.E.A.M.
Sports honors our injured military veterans and includes
more than 130 veterans and active-duty participants with injuries
ranging from amputation to paralysis to blindness to post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury.
Held annually since 2006, the Face of America is one of the largest
non-competitive bicycling events in the Washington, D.C. area. In 2014,
600 riders participated in the ride - many of whom came from across the
United States and Canada.
I'd like to ask you to support me in this
year's ride through your financial donation. Each able-bodied
participant is riding in support of the injured veterans, and raising
money to cover the costs for the ride, and to support upcoming events
from World T.E.A.M. Sports. Donations and sponsorship funding provide
opportunities for military and civilian athletes with disabilities to
join remarkable outdoor adventures - these range from the annual
Adventure Team Challenge in the high Rocky Mountains of Colorado to the
Coastal Team Challenge along Long Island, New York, where
developmentally-disabled teens and young adults paddle sea kayaks on a
two-day journey. At all World T.E.A.M. Sports events, persons with
disabilities participate at no cost.
As a registered 501(c)(3)
not-for-profit organization, contributions to World T.E.A.M. Sports are
tax deductible, provided you meet the IRS criteria and maintain certain
records. I want to thank all my friends and family and my extended
family at the Vt State House for all the generous donations.
