AVENTURA, FLA. (WSVN) - - Several wounded 9/11 veterans are gearing up for a special ride in South Florida.
More than 40 9/11 veterans injured while serving their country will be given a bike of their choosing, specially fitted for their specific service-related disability.
They’ll take part in an annual ride designed to honor vets, building a sense of community and forming strong connections among them.
“Cycling is my passion. And I love to spread what we call the gospel of cycling because, any time someone gets on a bike, they’re gonna smile. It’s a guarantee,” said Bill Hayes, the manager of Soldier Ride East for the Wounded Warrior Project.
The group will ride through Miami on Thursday and go through the Florida Keys on Friday and Saturday.
