Rick White, a software engineer out in Colorado, is riding a tricycle Wednesday to raise money for Soldiers’ Angels Valour IT program. He has raised almost $11,000 to date this year, and has a little comments section on his website.

Valour IT. Giving a voice to our wounded, by Soldiers Angels.

On June 25th Rick is teaming up with SA to take part in Colorado’s Bike to Work Day to raise money for the Valour-IT programme. I wrote about this programme during the annual bloggers’ fundraising effort in November 2007, to raise money to buy the voice activated laptops which make a huge difference to our wounded heroes. To read some amazing stories of the difference these Valour-IT laptops have made go here: [link http://mikegulf.blogspot.com/2007/11/giving-voice-to-our-wounded_05.html]

Rick has a website set up for this latest endeavour:

One Man – One Tricycle – One Serious Lack of Common Sense
Trikes for Troops

You can find his site Trikes for Troops here: [link http://trikeforthetroops.com/] Last year he raised $3,500, which he used to send care packages to the troops. With this year’s total already exceeding that, Rick will be helping Soldiers’ Angels buy more than a few laptops.

Check out Rick’s website, and even if you can’t make a donation, feel free to leave a message of support.
