NEVER FORGOTTEN: RIDE FOR FALLEN 9/11 VICTIMS
Brotherhood Ride honors fallen 9/11 Heroes
“NEVER FORGET”
Cyclists leave Naples, Fla., for their 1,600-mile ride to New York to honor the fallen heroes of 9-11 and their families. The 40 cyclists and their support staff of 15 will be on the road for 22 days, arriving at Ground Zero on Sept. 11. They’ll stop in Sumter on Monday night, where the community will welcome them with meals and shelter.
Sumter will host the participants in the 4th Annual Brotherhood Ride on Monday evening and Tuesday morning. The community is one of only three in the state selected to welcome the group of firefighters, police officers and EMS personnel who are riding bicycles from Florida to New York to honor emergency responders who have died in the line of duty.
This year’s ride will honor the 411 fallen heroes who lost their lives in the Sept. 11, 2001, World Trade Center attack. Forty cyclists and 15 support staff will cover more than 1,600 miles in the 22-day trek before arriving at their final destination, New York City’s Ground Zero.
