R2R Project HERO (Healing Exercise Rehabilitation Opportunity) Canada provides training and supports cycling programs for healing military, veteran, police fire, EMT and correctional personnel. Begun in November 2010 at Bethesda Naval Medical Center (now Walter Reed National Military Medical Center) in the United States, Project HERO has proven the effectiveness of group riding in the rehabilitation of injured servicemen and women. Cycling is an important part of the recovery and rehabilitation program for many reasons.
