It's that time again... The annual Project Valour-IT fundraiser has launched. What's that you say? Check this out from the Soldiers Angels website:

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.  Technology supplied includes:

  • Voice-controlled Laptops - Operated by speaking 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 increase motivation and speed recovery when used under the guidance of physical therapists in therapy sessions (donated only to medical facilities).
  • Personal GPS - Handheld GPS devices build self-confidence and independence by compensating for short-term memory loss and organizational challenges related to severe TBI and severe PTSD.

  • This is an outstanding project that really makes a difference. Navy's goal this year is $15,000. Do what you can!
    (And of course I sent you to the Navy link! Duh. If that's a problem for you then here's the generic link for the project.
