The Face of America is a two-day bicycle and hand cycle ride on April 15-16, 2011, by disabled and able-bodied participants, along city streets and gently rolling country byways, from Washington DC to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This inspiring ride, managed in cooperation with the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Hospital, is an opportunity to welcome disabled and able-bodied servicemen and women as teammates in an outdoor sporting event and show them how much America appreciates their efforts and sacrifices. Now in its sixth year, funds raised through the 2011 Face of America will pay for participating wounded warriors' transportation, hotels, food and support, as well as creating a safe ride experience for all participants.
