The Gathering of Mountain Eagles are a non-profit org that challenges wounded, injured of seriously ill Veterans with adventure and therapeutic activities!

Gathering of Mountain Eagles is a non-profit charity that provides opportunities for Americans (but especially West Virginians & Virginians) to share their remarkable recreational resources with combat wounded or injured Americans and selected family members. The concept of "adventure therapy" challenges military (active, reserve, National Guard, retired, service separated and selected associated) members and some family members with activities such as whitewater rafting, skiing, mountain biking, ropes courses, mountain climbing, etc. to help in their physical and psychological recovery. In addition, the wounded and their families will benefit from entertainment and relaxation opportunities such as musical performances, dinner theater performances, college football and basketball games including typical game day "tailgate" parties, scenic train tours, historical tours, fishing, golf, scenic hiking, festivals, sledding, horseback riding, caving, and canoeing, etc. to assist the healing processes. The purpose of the organization is summarized in the name "Gathering of Mountain Eagles:"

Gathering - what we do to bring combat wounded or injured Americans and their family members together for therapeutic activities to assist in their recovery. Mountain - where we will bring them to enjoy the recreational resources and appreciative people of West Virginia and Virginia

Eagles - what we call American military personnel who have been wounded in Afghanistan, Iraq or other areas in the war on terrorism

Gathering of Mountain Eagles also provides a chance for Americans to express their gratitude to those who have given and suffered so much for our protection and freedom. By raising awareness of the needs of wounded veterans and their families, Gathering of Mountain Eagles will enhance the support already being provided by other organizations.

Brandon’s ride to Coronado, California is focused on raising awareness for veteran mental health, transition after service, and the importance of connection and community. Along the route, he will stop at 22 checkpoints representing the veterans lost to su***de each day.
