    I do believe we are still looking for trail leaders for it.

    Shoot me a PM with at least your first name (yours is obvious), a phone number and an email address. I will coordinate with Eric and see where he needs help. Probably wouldn't hurt to know if you'll have extra seats available as well.

    "I'll be there and I think that LaDawn will be, too.

    I don't really care what trail I do so long as it is a little challenging and scenic. I also don't care if I am designated a leader, tail gunner or just part of the pack. Bottom line, if there is a place I am needed more than another, just sign me up for that place.

    If LaDawn doesn't go, I will have a spot in my rig for a rider. As it is, it is strictly a two person rig. I will post up as we get closer. It depends on her work schedule as to whether she goes or not."

    Pete, for now I've slotted you in on Mount Antero, but I might take you up on your offer of flexibility as we see what/who we have to work with.

    Chris, thanks for keeping in the loop! Right now our primary focus is getting the word out to wounded veterans. This is also the most difficult task we have due to privacy, policy, etc. If anyone knows an "in", please let us know and we'll hook you up with the other folks who are doing the same.

    We are also looking for sponsors to provide supplies, raffle prizes, or simple word of mouth.

    Sorry, Owen, I was on the run when I got your message and lost the number in transit. I know Jock will get you up to speed. Sorry for the mishap. Eric

    Sent an e mail out..

    Just keep me posted as to if I am expected to provide a seat for a passenger or not so that I can coordinate with LaDawn. She'll be cool with it, I am sure. Keep in mind that getting into and out of my heap is a chore..anyone missing an arm or leg could do it with a little help, but if someone is missing both it would be next to impossible. What trail I do doesn't matter like I said..

    So whatever happened? Is he good to go?

    A few of you asked what you can do to help, I got something and it will help in a big way, now that we've got the bank account going and paypal next week I would like to start getting donations together, not just from you but also from your friends and/or co-workers. Get the word out there please, we got lots of expenses to cover and any amount will greatly help.

    Just as soon as I get the paypal account set up, I myself will be sending an email out here at work on the distro list.

    I haven't heard any differently that there are more volunteers than vets, anyone have an update?

    Yes, it seems to be much more difficult finding wounded warriors that would like to participate in the event, since the organizations are not allowed to give us their info. So, we somehow need to make the event info (ie: web site info and flyers) available to each organization and in turn, hope that they disseminate the info and wounded warriors contact us. Doesn't exactly seem like the best way to go about it, but if anyone has some input to offer, just speak out...I'm listening.



    The following is a duplicate post of what is on the thread:



    Front Range 4x4 Forums> General Discussions> General Topics
    Wheelers for the Wounded Suggestions


    Re: Wheelers for the Wounded Suggestions
    We hope to have the WFTW flyers printed up shortly. At that point, I will look to circulate them, where ever possible. So, your help then would surely be appreciated.

    So far we have been in contact with the local American Legion Post, www.freedomisnotfree.com, Ft. Carson public affairs/wounded soldier and family info, National and local Easter Seals offices, and various individuals that have connections. If there is anyone here that can help out with this task, please let me know.

    Thank you all,

    Jim Augliera

    How about tv/radio PSA announcements? I don't know anything about how to get that done but should be good material for them.

    The vet I had in mind when contacting this surgeon has gone back to his home base back east. He did say he would mention our run to his colleagues and I would be contacted if anyone had a candidate. So far, there have been no responses.

    i know radio stations would be all over this like flies on crap especially since it is not fpr profit and it is all volunteer, all the vets need to do is show up and be treated to a good time!

    I just thought of something...I can get on my hospital web email and send out a mass post with a brief description and contact info. If it isn't allowed, I will find out after the fact.

    I can do the brief write up and have them email me. Once I get email replies from anyone who knows of a vet who wants to participate, to whom should I forward it to? I know I have asked before, and I have Erik's email, should I send to him or someone else? Please just PM me with the appropriate person.

    Reminds me of what a wise man once told me; "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission".

    I kinda believe it
