About Boston's Wounded Vet Ride
Boston's Annual Wounded Vet Bike Run Inspired by Cpl. Vincent Mannion Brodeur began in 2011. One of the most severly wounded veterans in the nation, Vinnie is the recipient of the Bronze Star and Purple Heart. While serving in Iraq in 2007 with the 82nd Airborne, Vinnie was critically injured by an insurgent boobytrap. After surviving 40 operations and a year long coma Vincent has become an inspiration for people throughout the nation. All proceeds from Vinnie's Run went to creating a handicapped accessible living space for Vinnie. The picture to the left shows Vinnie and Andrew at last year's ending ceremony. The event consists of a 30 mile bike ride followed by a ceremony and block party. Every year Boston's Wounded Vet Run will be dedicated to a different veterans. All proceeds raised will go towards housing modifcations to suite a comfortable living for the disabled veteran. The event is sponsored by the Italian-American War Veterans, a federally chartered non-profit veterans organization.They fought, and we ride, A bike run honoring the wounded veteran's of New England.
