Vietnam Veteran's Journey to the Wall

In 1969 Ken Rhodes was aboard a helicopter that crashed during the Vietnam War. After being shot in the leg, he was able to make a recovery, but with a pin in his leg, a prosthetic knee and another plate under his left eye. Upon arriving back in the United States, from Vietnam, he had a difficult time adjusting to life as a civilian. A few decades later, Ken has made it his mission to help and support troops coming home from overseas to make a normal re-entry into civilian life. He is also an avid supporter of raising money and awareness for muscular dystrophy. To further his efforts, Ken took to the road. Riding his 20-pound Trek bike, he cycled from Santa Monica, Calif. to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The ride was over 2,500 miles and lasted a little over four months. Ken said of his journey, “This ride is all from my heart.”

LifeWave is proud to support and sponsor Ken in his efforts and donated Energy Enhancer patches for him to use during his trip. As you can see in the picture below, Ken wore LifeWave patches on his knee while he was on the road. Congratulations to Ken Rhodes on this hard-earned achievement!
