Join us in standing strong for our first responders by donating today.

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, I've committed to raising funds as we ride 343 miles to honor the fallen, support the survivors, and stand with the first responders who still fight battles most of us never see, including cancer, trauma, and the toll of years spent serving others.

Please help me support this cause by making a donation through my page and don't forget to send this page to any friends you think might be interested in donating. I can't do this without you!

Happy Easter

Saturday 4th Apr
Easter is here , it’s a time of rebirth, Flowers are blooming, more & more people are out walking, riding & just enjoying the change from winter. Looking forward to more rides with the FDNY training group as we prep for September. Thank you to all who have supported my efforts this far. I’ve been sharing stories as I’ve sent out my thank you messages. It’s helped me remember brothers I’ve crossed paths with in my 32 yr career, both from 9/11 & just people who passed way too soon. Thank you again, Joe 

Blessed to be doing it, blessed to have family, friends & FDNY brothers

Tuesday 10th Mar
Today, 3/10 was a magnificent day to be out there doing it. The bad weather forced a lot of boring indoor riding but today was a day to be outside, crushing 42 miles in westchester. I’ve completed my first 100 training miles towards my goal, (i dont  know how to enter it yet on the site).
Thanks to all who’ve donated so far. When I came home & saw the messages it was a big boost after a hard ride. 
Appreciated, JG
