Starcraft RV to support cross country bicycle ride by veterans

MIDDLEBURY, Ind., July 11, 2012 – Starcraft RV has announced that it is sponsoring the Long Road Home Project, which begins Sunday. Five U.S. veterans will bike 4,200 miles for 90 days across the country to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by service people after returning home.

Most of them served in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, and may face hardships in their lives due to injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The goal of the Long Road Home Project is to bring awareness to the hardship faced by the veterans.

Through this journey, the Long Road Home Project also hopes to raise $75,000 to ease the transition of returning soldiers and help veterans live full, meaningful lives.

Starcraft RV is donating the use of a 28-foot Travel Star 285FB travel trailer to accompany the riders and support staff. The RV will allow the riders to recuperate and relax after a long day of cycling. For more information visit LongRoadHomeProject.com.
