“Our purpose for this docuseries is to educate the public and our industry on what R2R does, how we help athletes and where we spend our money,” said Road 2 Recovery’s Director of Marketing and Public Relations Lori Armistead. “There have been a lot of questions in the past about R2R and we haven’t done the best job of explaining the “behind the scenes” of our foundation. R2R does more than raise money for these injured professional athletes. Our goal is full transparency and to show everyone how their donations help. This is our chance to clear up any misconceptions or questions.”
This captivating production takes the opportunity to showcase Road 2 Recovery’s core mission, which is to help injured pro athletes with financial assistance after sustaining career-ending injuries as well as providing motivational, emotional and spiritual support to these individuals and their families. R2R is proud to say that they have never turned down help to an injured Pro athlete.
