Hi Everyone. I am currently working with the leadership at Project Hero to stand-up a "HUB" here in Portland. I am looking for vets, first responders, active duty, or anyone who is interested. For those of you not familiar:

Founded in 2008, Project Hero is a groundbreaking national non-profit organization dedicated to helping Veterans and First Responders affected by PTSD, TBI and injury achieve rehabilitation, recovery and resilience in their daily lives and increasing awareness to combat the national mental health emergency posed by PTSD and TBI.

Project Hero programs including Ride 2 Recovery events and Project Hero Community Centers work by producing positive outcomes at lower costs and reducing drug-based therapies. The organization also builds and provides adaptive bikes to physically-challenged and injured Veterans and First Responders and founded the Project Hero Research Institute for Mental Health to support clinical research programs in 2016.

Please check out the website at www.projecthero.org and group rides will be posted on the Western Regional page until we can get a PDX page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/410560985717567/

Please send me an email if you are interested. I am going to begin scheduling group rides as soon as I get interested folks!
