Hi everyone. I will be headed to Dublin, Ireland in September to take part in the Friends of Firefighters Ireland Bike Tour.  Myself, fellow members of the FDNY, and members of the Dublin Fire Brigade will be cycling 360.1 kilometers aka 223.4 miles along the coast of Ireland over the span of 3 days. Our ride starts in Dublin, September 9th, and finishes in Kinsale on September 11th, where a ceremony will be held to honor those lost on 9/11 and those we have since lost from 9/11-related illnesses. 

Along with training for this incredible experience, I am responsible for raising $3500, which will be donated to Friends of Firefighters. Friends of Firefighters is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that provides independent, confidential, and free mental health counseling and wellness services to active and retired FDNY firefighters and their family members. Friends of Firefighters is very near and dear to me, and your donation will go a long way in supporting me on this journey, as well as supporting a foundation which gives back so much to the fire department, its members, and their families.
