Dear Friends of the WSL!
I am writing to request your support for the 2012 FDNY Rumble to the Rockies motorcycle ride to benefit Hope For The Warriors®.
The Rumble to the Rockies riders are a community based fundraising group of FDNY firefighters from Battalion 14 in the South Bronx. Members of this group include Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans and first responders to the World Trade Center attacks on 9/11/01. It is our group’s mission to raise awareness and funds for wounded U.S. service members, their families, and families of the fallen.
About Hope For The Warriors®
As an Iraqi war veteran myself, I am honored to support Hope For The Warriors®. The mission of Hope For The Warriors® is to enhance quality of life for U.S. service members and their families nationwide who have been adversely affected by injuries or death in the line of duty. Hope For The Warriors® actively seeks to ensure that the sacrifices of wounded and fallen warriors and their families are never forgotten nor their needs unmet.
About the Rumble to the Rockies(R2R), motorcycle ride – July 30 – August 13, 2012
During these two weeks our riders will complete a 5,000+ mile road trip beginning at the World Trade Center in New York, NY covering the mid-west and ending at Walter Reed Medical Facility, Bethesda, MD. We will be stopping at Shanksville, Pa, Oklahoma City, OK, and Blacksburg, VA, reminding us that the sacrifices that our services members make on a daily basis are influenced by events that occur both foreign and domestic.
Each participant will pledge to raise a $2,000 entry fee. It is our hope that we obtain event donations and logistical support along the route for our members so that we can ensure that 100% of the entry proceeds are given to the Hope For The Warriors®!
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or if you would like more information. I can be reached at (845) 313-9770 or rumble2rockies@gmail.com. You can also check out our sponsor page where you can make donations at www.hopeforthewarriors.org/rumbletotherockies.
2012 FDNY Rumble to the Rockies Ride!
Many thanks,
Christopher Walsh, Battalion 14/Ladder 17
