Kentucky EMS Memorial Ride - Last Day
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.
The Kentucky group is traveling 400 miles over the Appalachian Mountains to attend the memorial service, and also provided a podcast report from the road. Group coordinator Robert Galvin called in from Middlesboro, KY where the group took a rest break before continuing on to Harlan and then climbing to the highest point in Kentucky.
