Brotherhood Ride 2024
Our organization consists of Firefighters, Police 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 emotional and financial support for their families.
Our 2024 Ride, will be dedicated to 14 Florida First Responders who died in the line of duty in 2023 while protecting their communities. Beginning on October 22nd from Naples, our team will honor them by cycling through the state of Florida for 8 days, covering over 600 miles and average 70-90 miles a day. The ride will conclude on October 29th in Live Oak.
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!
