Help me help WWII, Korean and Vietnam Veterans

Dear Friends,

I’m excited to share that I’m participating in the Death Valley Tour for Honor Flight. This organization sends WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam Veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials built in their honor — at no cost to them.

This year, our goal is to raise $ 50,000 by April 15, 2026, and I’m asking for your support.

The Tour is 2 days of riding Death Valley hills and badlands to honor those who served from 1941–1975, including many who are aging or facing terminal illnesses. Your donation helps ensure they don’t miss their chance to make this powerful journey.

Every contribution — big or small — directly funds flights, lodging, meals, medical support, and the unforgettable experience these heroes deserve.

If you’d like to support my ride and help send more veterans to Washington, you can donate through my fundraising page. Your generosity truly makes a difference.

Thank you for helping me ride with purpose and honor those who served.

With gratitude,

[Your Fundraiser's Name Will Automatically Go Here!]

Hi [Donor Name],

Thank you for your generous support of the 2026 Epic Charity Challenge: Hell to Heaven Ride benefiting Honor Flight San Diego. Your contribution directly helps send our WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam Veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials built in their honor.

Because of donors like you, these heroes—many now in their 70s, 80s, and 90s—will experience a powerful journey of remembrance, recognition, and connection. For some, this trip is their first opportunity to see their memorials. For others, it may be their last. Your gift makes that moment possible.

Your support also fuels the athletes who took on 270 miles, 16,000 feet of elevation, and 42 hours of nonstop effort. Every mile they rode was strengthened by your belief in the mission and your commitment to honoring those who served.
