343 Miles for FDNY Heroes | New York City News

Description

Two hundred cyclists, including firefighters from around the world, just completed a 343-mile ride from Boston to Lower Manhattan — one mile for each FDNY firefighter lost on 9/11. This year’s Ride for Resilience, organized by Friends of Firefighters, marks a historic first: ending at the World Trade Center site. Riders carry memories and names, honoring fallen heroes while raising funds and awareness for free mental health services for firefighters and their families — demand has skyrocketed, even expanding to support children. Irish firefighters joined in solidarity, reminding everyone this tribute is global. Partnering with Livestrong, the event also addresses cancer’s toll on first responders. With over $800K raised so far toward a $1.5M goal, this ride is more than endurance — it’s an emotional, powerful act of remembrance and resilience.
