Tomorrow Sunday morning August 21, 2022, approximately 25 riders active and retired will begin the journey from Sausalito FD, Station 1 in Southern Marin County and ride down the coast over the next 6 days arriving at the Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica on Saturday, August 27th.
Each rider is tasked with obtaining donations totaling a minimum of $1500. Funds raised after expenses are donated to the San Francisco Firefighters Cancer Prevention Foundation (sffcpf.org), the leading organization in researching cancer in the fire service. Support also goes out to the Fire Family Foundation (firefamilyfoundation.org) based in Los Angeles, which provides various programs to assist firefighters in their time of need.
Reminder, many of the same riders one year ago today, 12 firefighters and a support crew left Santa Monica and traveled 3200 miles over 40 days in remembrance of the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Our efforts and your support and corporate donors resulted in our donation of $130,000 from this ride. The recipients were the Gary Sinise Foundation, San Francisco Firefighters Cancer Prevention Foundation, Fire Family Foundation, and the Friends of Firefighters.
These rides over the life of this organization have raised more than half a million dollars.
