Brotherhood Ride 2026

Our organization is made up of firefighters, law enforcement officers, and EMS personnel who ride bicycles to honor emergency first responders who have died in the line of duty. Our mission is to provide both emotional and financial support to their families.

The 2026 Brotherhood Ride will be dedicated to 22 Florida first responders who lost their lives in the line of duty in 2025 while serving and protecting their communities.

Beginning on October 17 in Fort Myers, our team will honor their sacrifice by cycling across the state of Florida over the course of seven days. The ride will cover approximately 600 miles, averaging 70–100 miles per day, and will conclude on October 23 in Miami.

Thank you for your generous support! Our organization is entirely composed of volunteers, who are themselves, emergency responders: firefighters, police officers and EMS personnel. Other than the cost of conducting the rides, all donated proceeds go directly to the beneficiaries designated. No one is compensated for their time in order to maximize the impact of donations. Your gift will directly benefit the families of fallen heroes, emergency responders who have given their lives while trying to protect the lives and properties of others. With your help, we can continue to show the families, friends and their community that their loved ones will not be forgotten!

The Brotherhood Ride is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt organization designated by the Internal Revenue Code. Our tax identification number is 33-1187088.
