Soldier Ride Denver - Wounded Warrior Project

Soldier Ride is a WWP initiative that provides rehabilitative cycling opportunities across the country to help wounded warriors restore their physical and emotional well- being. It’s also a wonderful opportunity for the public to participate in a cycling event that honors the men and women of our military who sacrificed so much. Soldier Ride offers the public a chance to ride alongside as our warriors promote their positive message of recovery. The event raises funds for WWP programs and initiatives that ensure this generation of wounded warriors is the most successful, well- adjusted generation of wounded warriors in our nation’s history.

9/11 Memorial Stair Climb
The stair climb is an untimed walk aimed at using physical activity to remember the events and people of September 11th. The route is designed to equate to 110 stories, the height of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers. At Red Rocks Amphitheatre the route begins at the upper south parking lot, ascends the south ramp, and takes participants around nine counter-clockwise laps in the amphitheatre.

This year’s event will be based out of and begins at the upper south parking lot at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.  We encourage everyone to carpool in an effort to provide more parking close to the event.  Packet pick-up will begin at 0800.  The pre-climb ceremony begins at 0846. The climb begins at 0902 following a moment of silence and a performance of Amazing Grace.

This year’s registration fee is $25.00 which includes an event t-shirt, water and drinks during the event, and post-climb refreshments and entertainment by The Big Motif.

PAST EVENTS:

Melina Wachter Memorial Golf Tournament
Through my work with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, I've had the opportunity to meet so many phenomenal people.  One such person is Desiree' Wachter, whose 10-month old daughter, Melina lost her battle against blood cancer about 5 years ago.  Desiree' is stronger than no one should ever have to be.  Get 3 friends, come on out and play golf with us.  If you don't know how to golf, you can volunteer!





Team in Training
Summer 2010 Marathons
Rock-n-Roll Marathon & Half Marathon San Diego
Steamboat Springs Marathon & Half Marathon
I am so honored to be a coach for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training program.  In June 1998, I completed my first full marathon as a member of Northern NJ's Team in Training program.  I was so inspired by that experience that I returned as a coach, working with individuals who are achieving their marathon dreams while making a true difference in the lives of others.  What a winning combination!

I am so convinced that you will be changed in a way you never thought possible that, should you sign up and complete a marathon as a member of Denver's Team in Training, you will receive five (5) additional sessions from me at no cost.
