As a member of the Houston fire department, I have been lucky enough to serve alongside a special group of individuals. There is truly a brotherhood among all those who serve. It is an honor now to be able to ride across Texas with other first responders to bring awareness and raise support for the families of the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice. We will do so by displaying the names of the Line of Duty Deaths involving First Responders in Texas and carrying them with us everywhere we travel. This year we will be honoring thirteen. Of the money you donate to each individual rider, 100% will go to the families of the fallen.
We Never Forget – Every ride we do, we do to honor all our Brothers and Sisters who we have lost.
