Today, May 16, FDNY members and other Muddy Angels, including 3 members of the SVFD, participating in the Capital-to-Capital ride, a 15-day cycling adventure and mental health campaign that started in Ottawa, Ontario, on May 7, arrived in New York City to join the 2016 National EMS Memorial Bike Ride for National EMS Week. A Memorial Mass was held at St Patrick’s Cathedral to honor our fallen EMS brothers and sisters, before participants biked to FDNY EMS Station 4 for a luncheon. The Ride will continue to Washington, D.C. as participants memorialize and celebrate the lives of those EMS members who serve, those who have become sick or injured while performing their duties, and those who have died in the line of duty. |
