The CBS station in San Diego has a nice article and video on the Warrior Foundation-Freedom Station organization, which is who we partner with to make the Injured Warrior Appreciation Run happen each year. Read the article to get a better understanding of what the organization does and how it makes a difference in the lives of the soldiers and their families.

Ride Map For Friday’s Big Event
You won’t need a map to get there, just make your way to Orange County Harley-Davidson and follow us to Camp Pendleton. You might get turned around trying to find your way back to the 5. To ensure you get home, take a copy of this map with you.
Can’t Find Your Ticket?
If you’ve already signed up for the event but cannot find the email that has your ticket and waiver information, just head over to Eventbrite and input the email address you used. They will get you all set. Remember, the morning of November 7, you need your signed waiver and your ticket. Your ticket can either be a printed piece of paper that Eventbrite emailed you, or you can go 21st century and use the Eventbrite app on your phone to show your ticket. Instructions and links to the app are in the email that Eventbrite sent you with your registration confirmation.
