I am humbled and honored this year to be asked to represent the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation as a rider! The Gulf Coast Brotherhood Ride is dedicated to continue to honor the memory of those First Responders who have paid the ultimate price in the line of duty. By riding our bikes (yes the peddle kind) across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, for around 450 miles in 5 days the end of May, the Gulf Coast Brotherhood Ride aims to show the family, friends, and departments of those we have lost that we will Never Forget! This year we will be honoring 12 Family Members that paid the ultimate price for our safety. They will be our honorary riders.

We will truly ride with them in our hearts and minds. In addition to honoring their memories and providing emotional support, the ride raises funds to financially support the families as well. Year after year we are committed to honoring all our brothers and sisters lost in the line of duty and we promise we will Never Forget the sacrifices made. Please join me, and helping just a little bit, make the families of those left behind, just a bit easier. EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS!!! If you can not help financially, prayers are ALWAYS appreciated! I will post soon our route, so you can come cheer us on, and remember our brothers and sisters that have gone far to soon.
