For the second time, bikers geared up for a ride to raise awareness and funding for the Milwaukee Junior Fire Institute. The proceeds from the ride would make a world of difference for those dreaming of becoming a first responder.
"These kids are experiencing what fire is like for the first time," explained Lt. Jeff Halsey, Milwaukee Fire Department.
At the Milwaukee Junior Fire Institute, young people, ages 14-20, learn firsthand what it takes to be a firefighter during a four-day overnight camp which would not be possible without the bikers.
"Without their support, we would not be able to make this program work," said Halsey.
