The Front Line Foundation announced today a partnership with the Outdoor Association for True Heroes (OATH, Inc.) for this year’s OATH Memorial Walk. Frontline Foundation Members Mike and Lora Strauss, both retired police officers in Minneapolis, are in the midst of a fundraiser that will see each bike 15 miles every day for 15 days during the month of May, adding up to about 450 miles. The couple is doing this to honor the 13 Minnesota First Responders who either died while serving their communities in the State of Minnesota while serving ‘In The Line of Duty’ or lost their lives or were seriously injured in activities ‘Beyond the Call of Duty’ during 2019 and through 2020 to date.
Founded in late 2018 The Front Line Foundation was formed to support, Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters and EMT first responders across Minnesota to grant financial support to families of first responders who have died in the line of duty.
