A 2009 Danbury High School graduate is riding across the country to bring awareness to a veterans group. Stuart Armstrong is 28-years old and a 4th Year Med Student at Boston University School of Medicine.  He is looking to serve as a physician in the US Navy once he finishes school. 

The Naval Officer is riding across America, from Boston to Los Angeles, to raise awareness and funds for the Wounded Warrior Project.  He says the men and women helped by that program are always ready to work hard and have a great attitude.  Armstrong says the theme of this journey is that the small actions a person takes on a daily basis can add up to large accomplishments through dedication and persistence. 

He left Wednesday morning, with his father meeting him half way each day for a lunch break.  Armstrong came through Danbury yesterday.  Armstrong plans to ride about 100 miles a day and expects to arrive on the West Coast at the end of November. 

He wants to ride through a few major cities to bring awareness to the Wounded Warriors organization, and will be posting about his trek on Instagram at www.instagram.com/stuarmstrongofficial .

Armstrong hopes to raise $3,000 for Wounded Warriors during his journey.  The fundraising link is: https:www.crowdrise.com/o/en/campaign/small-acts-make-a-big-difference
