LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Wounded Warrior Project and the NFL are teaming up for a multi-day cycling trip from Allegiant Stadium to Phoenix, giving dozens of warriors a chance to connect and recover.
Organizers call it Soldier Ride. About 20 veterans started in Las Vegas, riding in relay teams toward Arizona. A second group picks up in Phoenix and rides on to Los Angeles.

Healing, not speed
Many participants have visible injuries or invisible wounds. The nonprofit says the goal is less about speed and more about healing together.
“For warriors, every warrior, whether they have a physical wound that you can see or an invisible wound, it shouldn’t be harder to come home than it is to go, but it is. Most warriors come back, but they don’t truly come home. Wounded Warrior Project, we’re committed to finding every warrior everywhere and bringing them home, mind, body and soul,” said Lt. Gen. Walt Pyatt, CEO of Wounded Warrior Project.
How to register
The group says any post-9/11 veteran can register for free programs, including future Soldier Rides, through Wounded Warrior Project’s website at https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/.
