Gotta prove it every day.

It was going to be easy.  After all, having done a 4200-mile trek and another Ride to Remember with four riders crossing the Sierra Nevada range, 180 miles of flat, urban East Coast terrain would be, in the words of Jackie Gleason, ‘a mere bag of shells’ (meaning, negligible).  However, things are seldom what they seem, and we would not be denied the ‘gift’ after all.  We call it a gift because that’s what willing sacrifice can be. The bottom line is the Gold Star families we sought to honor have faced much tougher times than any hardship which could ever show up on a bicycle ride shared by great friends.

The Team Jesse Foundation and The Moyer Foundation are pleased to officially partner for the 2018 Ride to Remember. Taking place September 9 - 11 and spanning 180 miles from Philadelphia to Baltimore to Washington D.C., the Ride to Remember 2018 will honor and remember fallen soldiers and raise funds to support the families they left behind.
