2013 Louisiana EMS Memorial Ride – New Orleans to Gonzales (60) @ Delgado Community College
Tickets
Sep 28 @ 11:00 am – Sep 29 @ 1:00 am

From the organizer’s website:

“Each year, dedicated members of the Louisiana EMS community go out into our communities to provide care for those in need during times of crisis. Some of our members do this directly by intervening during a patient’s medical emergency. Some of our members do this indirectly by teaching others to provide care or get involved in the development of EMS systems throughout our State.

Unfortunately, some of these professionals are victims of an untimely death. Whether the loss of our heroes was due to a line of duty death or an untimely death due to illness, the impact from the loss within our profession is no less dramatic.

LANREMT is proud to take the lead in organizing a fund raising event whose purpose is to raise awareness of our fallen members and ensure that their sacrifice and contribution is never forgotten.

When? September 28, 2013

Where? Start in New Orleans at Delgado Community College and riding to the Fire Dist 1 Station on Hwy 61 in Gonzales.

How To Participate? Each rider is required to complete the registration form attached. There

is a $75 registration fee. Each rider will be expected to raise a minimum $50 in funds from sponsors.
