“22 Veterans a day are committing suicide and one of the key indicating factors is the lack of connectivity”
Veterans Needs for the motorcycle community

“I am so Thankful To Greg Blackwell for Believing in Born To Ride and for Giving Veterans a platform to come together and to let them know how much we care”

Ron Galletti

I am Greg Blackwell, past US Army Ranger that spent 11 consecutive years in the special operations world. I have been twisting the throttle inside the Motorcycle community since 1982. I also work with organizations to help rebuild the lives of (and sometimes houses) of veterans. So I bring a unique perspective to what is happening currently.

I say this not to brag, but to add validly to my statements. I have seen an issue and opportunity inside the veteran and motorcycle community.
