| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the 2015 Ride 2 Recovery Texas Challenge; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Ride 2 Recovery Program was established as a | ||
| means to assist in the rehabilitation of America's wounded and | ||
| disabled veterans; participants in this year's Texas Challenge, | ||
| including more than 200 injured veterans, are riding traditional | ||
| and tandem bicycles, recumbent cycles, hand cycles, and a variety | ||
| of other adaptive bikes on a weeklong 490-mile journey from | ||
| Houston to Fort Worth; the route goes through Central Texas and | ||
| includes overnight stops in College Station, Georgetown, Fort | ||
| Hood, Waco, and Cleburne; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Texas Challenge is followed by the one-day | ||
| Clay Hunt Honor Ride, a noncompetitive fund-raising ride open to | ||
| injured veterans and the general public; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Ride 2 Recovery Texas Challenge is sponsored | ||
| by UnitedHealthcare; this outstanding event offers an | ||
| opportunity for the public to show its support and appreciation | ||
| for those who have placed their lives on the line in defense of | ||
| our nation's security and ideals; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Ride 2 Recovery Texas Challenge plays an | ||
| important role in restoring hope and purpose to the men and women | ||
| who have been injured in the line of duty; the physical and mental | ||
| effort and training required for cycling has proven to be | ||
| invaluable as a healing therapeutic tool; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Participants in the ride have set challenging | ||
| goals for themselves and worked hard to attain them; they also | ||
| play an important role in motivating their fellow riders to | ||
| persevere in all aspects of their rehabilitation; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Ride 2 Recovery Texas Challenge is truly | ||
| deserving of special recognition for the profound impact it is | ||
| having on the lives of our nation's wounded veterans; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend all those associated with the Ride 2 | ||
| Recovery Texas Challenge on their commitment to ensuring that our | ||
| nation's veterans are able to return to their lives as fully as | ||
| possible; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| honor of this exemplary event. | ||
