Meet Our Wounded Veterans

Each year Boston's Wounded Vet Run chooses different veterans to be honorees of the bike run. Unfortunately due to the amount of injured service members coming home we can only support a select number. If you know a veteran who was wounded please contact us. 100% of donations go to our wounded veterans or charities of their choosing.
