A Ride With Impact

We ride 343 miles to honor the 343 firefighters lost on 9/11 and the First Responders still facing cancer and trauma today.

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.

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."
- Aaron
