“Putting Heroes in Motion”

“Life is about more than accomplishing extraordinary things. It’s about living, loving, learning, listening, sharing, communicating, creating, taking chances and making the best of whatever comes your way. It’s about finding yourself and creating yourself. Life is what happens when you follow your heart and go after your dreams. Life is how you choose to live every day.”

The Gold Star Dads of America is proud to announce
the Wheels For Heroes ™ Project

The Wheels For Heroes ™ Project was established to fill a void in the lives of the young men and women who sustained catastrophic injuries while serving in the War on Terror in both Operation Iraqi Freedom & Operation Enduring Freedom. These noble warriors put their lives and careers on hold and answered duties call to protect and defend our nation, now they desperately need our help.

These are America’s finest and we as a nation owe them more than we could ever repay. The Wheels For Heroes ™ Project will make a positive impact in their lives by providing the funding to purchase and distribute high quality racing wheelchairs, hand cycles and state of the art rehab & athletic equipment directly to the individuals.

By partnering with private and public organizations, in addition to various outreach groups, Gold Star Dads hopes to raise $25,000 in 2010.
