Deloitte Joins Injured Veterans On 350 Mile Trek for United Healthcare Ride 2 RecoveryCyclists ride through Richmond Wednesday en route to Virginia Beach |
On a hot sunny day, these men and women put their best foot forward. Pedaling with a passion to raise money and awareness about injured veterans. Josh Rodriguez says this third day of the United Healthcare Ride 2 Recovery was tough. But, it doesn't compare to what he's seen serving our country on the front lines. The soldier was injured three years ago in Ramadi. He says " In a roadside bombing we were hit by an ied. Our vehicle flipped over. Now I have shrapnel in my shoulder."
Now cycling is a huge part of his therapy. He says this 350 mile Ride to Recovery has been a Godsend. Rodriguez and the other soldiers, each with a story to tell, say this experience has bonded them together.
