The Marble Falls EMS and A/TCEMS Cycling Team will join other EMT’s and Paramedics from all over the nation on Sunday, May 20th, when the 2007 EMS Memorial Bike Ride commences in New York City. The Team’s fundraising efforts will help the EMS Memorial Service achieve its mission in assisting the families of those EMS personnel who make the ultimate sacrifice while protecting the lives of the citizens of this country. The team will carry with them the memory of Eric Hanson, and will ride in his honor. Eric, a paramedic from nearby Marble Falls Emergency Medical Services, died late last year when the ambulance he was driving was struck head-on by another vehicle as he and his partner were returning from an early morning call.
The National EMS Memorial Bike Ride is an annual conscious and fund raising effort to elevate the public’s awareness of the National EMS Memorial Service, where the ride ends, and the sacrifices of EMS professionals throughout the nation. This year, the service will be held on Saturday, May 26, 2007. The National EMS Memorial Service located in Roanoke, Virginia honors the sacrifices of EMS Professionals who died in the performance of their duties each year.
