- 1 trike + 1 determined (crazy?) supporter of the troops + pledges from around the country = more laptops for wounded troops
Trike for the Troops is a fundraising effort by Rick White, held in conjunction with Colorado's yearly Bike to Work Day. He gathers pledges for completing the 5-mile ride from his home to his office on a tricycle. Last year he raised $3500, which was used to send care packages to deployed military personnel.
This year, Trike for the Troops is teaming up with Soldiers' Angels, and the money raised will go to Project Valour-IT! Bike to Work Day will be June 28, 2008 and you can pledge your donation to Soldiers' Angels at Ricks' website, where he includes videos and reports of last year's event.
Congrats to Rick for his creativity and spirited support of the troops. As one pledger wrote, "Snoopy would be proud."
