National EMS Memorial Bike Ride

Friday, May 10, 2019

Georgetown EMS/Station 93 Supervisor Deanna Loeb participated in the 9 day journey in her POV as support personnel.  Deanna is a member of the Delaware Winged Riders which is a group of local Paramedics, EMT's, Nurse's and other Health Care providers.

This year we memorialized seventy-five individuals nationwide, with five of those from Sussex County, Delaware: Robert Parson, Christopher Todd Horrocks, James Ashley Lanman, Jason Faulkner, Sr. and Tim McClanahan(LODD).  As well as Daniel Lister(LODD), from Queen Annes County, Maryland..

Through fundraising efforts the Delaware Winged Riders were able to send seven team members on the East Coast ride.  With days starting as early as 0530 and ending well into the night, this 9 day adventure took us through 8 states and many days of rain, fog, sleet and freezing temp's. 

The endurance of the bicycle riders is propelled by the honor of carrying dog tag's for the ones who we ride in memory of each year.
