A Ride With Impact

They save lives. They protect communities. They pay the price in cancer rates and cumulative trauma that most people never hear about. This ride is a declaration that their battles matter, and they won’t face them alone.

This purpose-driven honor ride brings together first responders, survivors, and supporters in a meaningful, challenging journey benefiting Friends of Firefighters, Livestrong, and Boston Fire Cancer Foundation.

What Firefighters Are Up Against Every Shift

Cancer is the #1 cause of death in firefighters in the line of duty.

Nearly 8 in 10 line-of-duty deaths last year were cancer.

IAFF, 2025

9% more cancer diagnoses. 14% more cancer deaths.

Career firefighters face significantly higher cancer rates than the general public.

NIOSH study of nearly 30,000 career firefighters

1 in 10 World Trade Center responders show PTSD symptoms 20 years later.

Symptoms didn't peak until more than a decade after 9/11.

Why They Ride

“This ride is in honor of my mom, who passed after a courageous battle with cancer. She dedicated her life to helping others, including working with the families of 9/11 victims in the immediate aftermath. I remember the fear we felt for her safety that day, knowing she was in the city when it happened.”
- Jessica

"I am biking 343 miles from Boston to NYC this September to honor the life of my husband, Aaron- my friend, my love, my hero, my everything. I would like to support those people who act, those who make sure that everybody else is taken care of, before they worry about themselves."

- Sarah

"I am dedicating this ride to my cousin, Deputy Fire Chief Glenn Telgen, as he fights occupational illness. I have lost too many mentors and friends to the impact of the profession we have chosen."
