CLEVELAND, Ohio—Sen. Rob Portman (R., Ohio) participated in a kayaking race with wounded veterans on Tuesday, raising awareness and funds for an organization that helps disabled service members rehabilitate after returning from the battlefield.
Portman has been volunteering with Team River Runner since his years serving as a U.S. trade representative in the George W. Bush administration. Team River Runner is a non-profit organization with chapters throughout the country that teaches thousands of active-duty military members and veterans how to kayak as a means to healing mentally and physically.
