The Raven Drum Foundation Resiliency program.

The Raven Drum Foundation is a non-profit in Malibu that was founded by Drummer Rick Allen of Def Leppard and Lauren Monroe.

They have helped hundreds of veterans through their Veterans Resiliency Project. The course teaches veterans to use drumming, dance, exercise and meditation to perservere through injury and PTSD.

Rick Allen was able to make an incredible comeback when he returned to Def Leppard after losing his arm in a crash, and it is good to see he is sharing that will with others.
