Bumped again to give it some additional visibility.

I don’t do pledge drives, but here is a charity and project I believe is well worth supporting and one I have personally supported for a number of years.

If you don’t see the graphic, you can find out  more here [2].

Here’s a bit about the purpose of the project.

More About Valour-IT
  • Personal GPS – Handheld GPS [3] devices build self-confidence and independence by compensating for short-term memory loss and organizational challenges related to severe TBI [4] and severe PTSD [5].


    • Project Valour-IT helps provide voice-controlled/adaptive laptop computers and other technology to support Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand wounds and other severe injuries.  Items supplied include:

     

  • Voice-controlled Laptops – Operated by speaking [6] into a microphone or using other adaptive technologies, they allow the wounded to maintain connections with the rest of the world during recovery.

    •  

  • Wii Video Game Systems – Whole-body game systems [7] increase motivation and speed recovery when used under the guidance of physical therapists in therapy sessions (donated only to medical facilities).

    As a currently deployed soldier and Veteran thanks for supporting this organization. One of the hardest parts of recovery for millitary members is the lack of independence, Valour-IT has found ways to work around this hurdle.

    Dan,
    It is one I’ve supported for several years now. For someone who enjoys the benefit of our military and the sacrifices they make, It’s the least anyone can do.
