CALIFORNIA - Veteran Los Angeles Firefighter Jason Teter and LAFD Cadet Byron Collins, have joined the 2012 Fire Velo San Francisco Bay to Los Angeles "Fire Service Cancer Awareness Bicycle Ride".
Teter, a twelve-year LAFD veteran is a former Police Officer. Collins, seeking a career at the Los Angeles Fire Department, volunteers as a Fire Cadet and member of the LAFD's Type II Handcrew.
The pair proudly join 30 cyclists making the nearly 500-mile trek on bicycles to raise charitable funds and support public awareness of cancer among the men and women of America's Fire Service.
We warmly welcome you to join their families, colleagues and friends on Saturday, August 25, 2012 at the Santa Monica Pier, where the riders will conclude their inspiring journey.

i wished i knew about the ride and making some kind of donation to their cause. i lost my brother to cancer 3 yrs. ago. and i think of how hard it is on his children not having their father around. i wish everyone lots of love, courage and support. :-) smile by nina
Good Job both Jason and Byron!
Nina,
Thanks for the note. We're pleased to say this year's ride is *still in progress*, and as mentioned above, we warmly welcome you and other friends of the LAFD to join us this Saturday at the Santa Monica Pier to welcome and congratulate the riders.
Fundraising for this event was performed individually by the riders, yet we're confident that a donation in your Brother's or someone else's honor would be graciously accepted by the related 501(c)3 charity called Code 3 For A Cure.

Thanks for your continued interest in and support of the endeavors of your Los Angeles Fire Department.
Respectfully Yours in Safe and Service,
