BRANFORD FIRE DEPARTMENT
What a great day. This is what it's all about. Thank you to all the burn survivors who signed the bike yesterday and to the therapists and nurses who rode with me for a while from the Shrine. Your signatures and iron will pulled me over some heartbreaker hills yesterday as my legs were trying to cramp up on me.
BFD brought me into town with a kick butt Harley escort from a few of their FF's. Thank you to all who organized and showed up for the party at the American Legion Hall. Pipers were pipin', drummers were drummin' - AWESOME! BFD raised a
ton of money for the fundraiser and is counting it as we speak. WE are ALL behind each and every burn survivor - the Phoenix Society, healthcare community, firefighters and their families. HELP AND SUPPORT ARE ON THE WAY.I'm on to Hartford this AM after a nice pancake breakfast with my brothers. See you there!
-Mike

"Feeling the burn: Firefighter rides for a cause"
By LANE LAMBERT, The Patriot Ledger
*********************************************************************
A Great Send Off in Boston!
Thank you to everyone at Shriners, the Phoenix Society, the Boston Firefighters Association and Department, and most importantly, to all the burn survivors who showed up at the press conference this morning to offer your support. This ride is symbolic of your journey. May we inspire everyone who hears of this journey to donate to help all burn survivors.
