Meet the W100k Warriors

The Bush Institute’s W100K spotlights the role of sport in recovery for our post-9/11 veterans and honors their bravery and sacrifice.

President George W. Bush will host the 6th annual Warrior 100K (W100K), a 100-kilometer mountain bike ride for United States military personnel seriously wounded or injured since September 11, 2001. This year’s private bike ride will take place at President and Mrs. Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas from September 29- October 1.

The New Guys: 

The Returners: 

While at this year’s Invictus Games in Orlando, FL, President Bush hosted a Symposium on the Invisible Wounds of War, such as post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury, an event that coincided with the George W. Bush Institute’s launch of its Veteran Wellness Initiative. Committed to addressing the issues our post-9/11 veterans face, the Bush Institute will release a policy report later this fall that makes recommendations on treating the invisible wounds of war.

The Invictus Games Team U.S.A. Captain, Will Reynolds, a 3-time medal winner, will participate in this year’s ride.  Patty Collins, a Paralympian competing at the Paralympics in Rio De Janiero, will also join the group.
