Memorial Ride Kicks Off EMS Week: Part 1 New York
Among the many events and celebrations being held nationwide this week to honor our EMS responders during National EMS Week, is the National EMS Memorial Bike Ride.
There are two legs to the ride this year: one that begins in New York and a new one that begins in Kentucky. Both groups of bicycle riders headed out on Sunday, May 20th and will meet in Virginia and ride into Roanoke together to attend the 15th Annual National EMS Memorial Service on Saturday, May 26. The purpose of The EMS Memorial Ride is to honor those EMS personnel who have died in the line of duty.
As the New York-based group headed into day 2 of their 600-mile bicycle ride, we heard from organizer Dave Gilbert. Listen to the podcast to hear from Dave as he checks in from Washington’s Crossing in Mercer County, New Jersey.
