Support Tour de Valor: One Million Voices

On October 23-24, 2026, cyclists will embark on the Tour de Valor: One Million Voices, a powerful 22-hour, 200+ mile journey across 11 New York counties to honor Veterans, service members, military families, and caregivers. The ride begins in Albany and concludes at the PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Memorial in Rocky Point, symbolizing the challenges, resilience, and strength of those who have served.

This mission is not about raising one million dollars. It's about raising One Million Voices and ensuring that every Veteran's story is heard.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. REACH OUT. STAY CONNECTED

For many Veterans, the battles don't always end when military service does. Hidden wounds are real, but seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Dwyer Programs across New York, Veterans can connect with fellow Veterans who understand the challenges of transition, mental health, isolation, and everyday life. Peer support saves lives. Link: https://www.josephpdwyerpeerproject.org/

💙 If you are struggling, feeling overwhelmed, or having thoughts of su***de, help is available right now.

📞 Veterans Crisis Line: Dial 988 then Press 1 📱 Text 838255 💻 VeteransCrisisLine.net

🤝 Connect with a local Dwyer Program for peer-to-peer support, resources, and community connections. 🤝 Connect with Onward Ops and other Veteran-serving organizations that are committed to ensuring no Veteran fights alone.

Please check in on a Veteran today. A simple call, text, or conversation can make a difference.
