2010 National EMS Memorial Bike Ride

Thursday, July 22, 2010

During this year’s EMS Week, three separate legs of riders—some starting in Vermont, a few in Kentucky and a large contingency in Maine—pedaled more than 550 miles through 14 states to Washington, D.C., to immerse themselves in an event filled with compassion, sympathy and celebration.

In all, 117 riders and 14 non-riders who provided support and guidance registered from 30 states and Canada. The riders spent more than 66 hours in the saddle challenging themselves to a reconnect to a world beyond the confines of glass and steel walls.

Reason Behind the Ride

Mike Hill stands next to the memorial posters that were posted throughout the East Coast journey. Hill was part of the Florida contingency of riders who rode in memory of David M. DeLand, who was inducted this year on the Tree of Life in Colorado Springs.
