How do you adequately honor the lives of those who protect ours?

The Brotherhood Ride. It’s an annual bike excursion that honors fallen firefighters from around the country, showing, both emotional and financial support

Over the past six years the group has honored the memory of 444 first responders. This year the group is riding to honor 19 firefighters who died in the line of duty in 2013.

Who rides in this? This year, 41 Firefighters and law enforcement officers from Plaquemine, Louisiana, all the way to its final destination,  H.F.D station 68.

A strenuous way of gaining support? Sure, but if there’s ever a great way to raise money for the fallen and their family’s, this is it.
