Team DVNF Wilderness 101 Challenge

Ride with Purpose:
Support Team DVNF in Wilderness 101!

Help us light the path to prevention at this pivotal event on July 27th in Coburn, Pennsylvania.

Join us in making each mile a milestone for suicide prevention and veteran support.

Meet Paul Anthony “Tony” Di Leo, a retired Army Combat Veteran, who turns his battle-hardened resolve to advocate for those who battle in silence.

Throughout his distinguished service as a Medical Logistics Specialist, Tony exemplified dedication and compassion. His commitment continued post-service at the Veterans Administration, aiding veterans at risk of homelessness.

Tony’s retirement is far from quiet. He actively volunteers with several prominent veterans’ organizations, including the San Antonio Coalition for Veterans and Their Families, VETTRIP, Operation Comfort, and Military Veterans for Christ. His volunteer work is driven by a deep passion for improving veteran lives.

As a committed husband to an Iraq War Veteran (his wife Tashawnya "Tish Di Leo") and a steadfast friend to many in the military community, Tony understands deeply the challenges faced by veterans. He engages in biking, hiking, and riding motorcycles, not just for leisure but as part of his ongoing commitment to stay connected and active in the veteran community.

This year, Tony is riding in the challenging 100-mile Wilderness 101 mountain bike event (more info on that here) not just as an athlete, but as a champion for suicide prevention and awareness. He represents Team DVNF with the goal of shedding light on this critical issue and gathering support for life-saving initiatives.

We will not only be bringing awareness to this critical issue but every $50 donated will provide a veteran with free access to our Mission Possible mind, body, and spirit program to help them with their mental health and everyday life challenges.

Exciting Matched Gift Opportunity!

Double Your Impact! We have a generous private donor who will match every donation, dollar for dollar up to $30,000! So your $50 gift becomes $100. Now your support will go twice as far in making a difference. 

This unique matching opportunity means your contribution will have double the impact on our programs and services for veterans in need.
