What: Salute to Silence Tinnitus bicycle ride When:
May 1, 2013 - May 20, 2013 Where:
From the James A. Haley VA Medical Center in Tampa, Florida to the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, D.C. Ride the full distance or just a few miles. Cause:
To raise funds for the American Tinnitus Association (ATA) and awareness about tinnitus, the leading service-connected disability for U.S. veterans from all periods of service. Details:
My name is Sal Gentile from Tampa, Florida and I recently developed tinnitus, the perception of sound where no external source exists. People affected by tinnitus describe it as "ringing, hissing, buzzing, and whooshing" in one or both ears. My tinnitus is 75 decibels loud, the exact level of a human voice and I hear it 24/7.
Did you know that 50 million people in the United States experience tinnitus; of those, 16 million have sought medical attention and 2-3 million are completely disabled from the disability. After struggling with tinnitus I joined the ATA and found myself surrounded by support from its Facebook website where many affected people share ideas for coping strategies. I have been using these techniques for some time now and have continued to learn to retrain my brain to cope with my tinnitus.
This event will be a monumental effort that will help the 50 million Americans in the U.S. who live with tinnitus and the 250 million that suffer chronically worldwide. We welcome you to ride with us on the first "Salute to Silence Tinnitus" bicycle ride and help support the local Tampa and national volunteers who are riding together beginning May 1, 2013 to raise money to fund crucial tinnitus research.
