***Please Contribute to This Great Cause***
My name is Leo (Lee) Kelly. I am a veteran from the 1st Gulf war with some disabilities from a M.V.A. that happened in September 2004. For exercise, weather permitting, I am able to ride a recumbent trike. Starting September 1, 2009, I plan to take a special journey for a special cause that is extremely close to my heart.
My journey will be by recumbent trike from Cleveland, Ohio to other VA medical Centers across the great state of Ohio . This journey will be about 900 miles in about 21 days. I am riding to raise funds and awareness for our returning disabled soldiers and their families. In doing so, I hope to encourage any veteran with a disability to set their goals higher, and they will accomplish it one way or another.
The beneficiary of my ride will be the Wounded Warrior Project (woundedwarriorproject.org) and the fisher house (www.fisherhouse.org). These are both 501(c) charities, and your contributions will be tax deductible. I will be carrying a G.P.S. Tracking Device to confirm that I'm riding all of the miles that you have sponsored, and you will be able to keep track of my progress at MyBigRide09.com. Also, I will be posting a blog on my site.
Thank you for supporting me as I make this great journey.
