The 2022 VCR program will introduce an entirely new program
structure, as the organization will host 10-12 new and returning
veterans at three different multi-day motorcycle therapy events.
Many veterans attending are amputees, paraplegics, suffer from
Post-Traumatic Stress or other challenges veterans face after
leaving the military. Each new veteran will pair with mentors who
have already been through VCR’s motorcycle therapy program and
receive one-on-one support to help their transition back to
civilian life.
“Through seven years, the growth and expansion of the Veterans
Charity Ride has been an incredible feat. We are proud to say we
have touched the lives of more than 150 veterans,” Dave Frey,
Veterans Charity Ride Founder. “With a growing number of returning
veterans still in need of VCR programming, we’re excited to expand
and host three multi-day motorcycle therapy events. In this new
format, we will reach and support the most veterans in a single
year than ever before. All this could not be achievable without the
support from Indian Motorcycle and all our loyal sponsors.”
The first of three motorcycle therapy events will be held in
Moab, UT and Durango, CO from June 10-19. The second will take
place in Moab, UT, August 20-30. The third event, held October
10-18, will begin in Park City, UT and end in Moab, UT. Each event
allows participating veterans the opportunity to push towards
conquering their post-war challenges while out on the open road.
Throughout the trip, veterans will also conduct team-building
exercises, which allow riders to share their service experience
during the emotional and mind-detoxing motorcycle therapy
event.
“It’s been a true honor to support such a life-changing program
such as the Veterans Charity Ride,” said Aaron Jax, Vice President
for Indian Motorcycle. “VCR’s growth is a testament to Dave and Sue
Frey, as they’ve made it their mission to positively impact the
lives of the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much for
our country.”
Veterans Charity Ride was created by veteran Army Paratrooper
Dave Frey and leverages the therapeutic effects of motorcycle
riding to create an adventure of a lifetime for wounded and amputee
combat veterans adjusting to post-war life.
