3rd Annual History Flight Iron Butt Challenge

This year's ride will take place on Friday, 26 April 2024. In the last two years, several of us from Combat Veteran's Motorcycle Association, Chapter 27-2 (Virginia), have completed Iron Butt challenges and raised ~$13,000 for History Flight. For this, our 3rd year, we will have personal best 8 riders travelling from Stafford, VA to Key Largo, FL- a distance of 1070 miles- in less than 24 hours. We want to raise more funds and increase awareness for History Flight's mission of research, location, excavation, recovery, and repatriation of the remains of over 81,000 American service members still missing in action (MIA) or deemed unrecoverable from past American conflicts. Please note that every penny donated goes directly to History Flight (aside from admin fees charged by the GoFundMe platform), and that we as participants pay our own travel costs out of pocket.

The CVMA mission essentially boils down to Vets Helping Vets, but we also have a responsibility to those POWs, MIAs, and KIAs who never made it home. On April 26th, 2024, we will ride in remembrance of the fallen and complete the ride of more than 1000 miles in 24 hours or less. We hope that this cause moves you as it does us and that you will stake the time to share and donate if you are able. Thank you for your support.
