To Commemorate 10 Years of Rehabilitating Combat Wounded Veterans, Veterans Charity Ride to Host Memorial Day Reunion and Honor Fallen Soldiers.

America's First Motorcycle Company, Indian Motorcycle, announced its ongoing support and sponsorship of the Veterans Charity Ride (VCR).

This veteran-led non-profit organization specializes in motorcycle therapy to aid combat-wounded veterans in healing from physical and mental trauma. Entering the 10th year of partnership, Indian Motorcycle and VCR commemorate the motorcycle therapy program with a Memorial Day reunion, welcoming returning VCR vets who have experienced the life-changing therapy to celebrate life and honor fallen U.S. soldiers.

Veterans participating in VCR's motorcycle therapy program are often amputees, paraplegics, or suffer from post-traumatic stress and other challenges faced after military service.

The program aims to support these veterans in transitioning back to civilian life through camaraderie, motorcycle adventures, and additional initiatives that foster the brotherhood and sisterhood formed across all branches of the United States military.

Over the past decade, Veterans Charity Ride has improved the lives of countless veterans, many of whom wouldn't leave their houses after their release from active duty. Through its therapy program, which utilizes the freedom of the open road, the roar of the engine, and the connection between veterans, VCR has been incredibly successful in helping these vets find life after service, and we are honored to play a role in supporting such a great cause. -Aaron Jax, Vice President for Indian Motorcycle

A 2024 Veteran Charity Ride event is scheduled for June 8-16: Moab, Utah

It's incredible to be entering our 10th year of motorcycle therapy, and undoubtedly, we could not have achieved so much without the loyal support of our friends at Indian Motorcycle. While we celebrate ten years with a Memorial Day reunion alongside our brothers and sisters who have joined us throughout our program, we are equally excited to stay on the throttle and welcome new veterans into the program and help in their rehabilitation, just as we have so many already. -Dave Frey, Founder of Veterans Charity Ride

In celebration of Veteran Motorcycle Therapy Month in June, VCR will host an intimate group of new and returning veterans with motorcycle therapy rides, adventure activities, and small-group therapy sessions. The vets will attend and participate in the Indian Motorcycle-sponsored Durango Rendezvous event in Durango, Colorado, where fellow veterans and VCR alums welcome them.

The Veterans Charity Ride, created by veteran Army Paratrooper Dave Frey, leveraged the therapeutic effects of motorcycle riding. VCR creates an adventure of a lifetime for wounded and amputee combat veterans who are adjusting to life after their service in war.

Riders can follow along on Indian Motorcycles and Veteran Charity Ride social media channels.
