Last year my brother Jonny spent a season working as a Wildland Fire Fighter. While he worked a few fires here in Idaho, he was also pimped out to a couple big ones out of state the most notable being the rager in Arizona. Spending a riding season being a brother short was bad enough but hearing news of a fire fighter getting hurt or killed on the job was nerve racking. He's not fighting fire anymore but we as a club have a new appreciation for what firefighters and their families go through. Because of this Lucky Bastards MC is going to be putting on a fundraiser this year for the Wildland Firefighter's Foundation. This organization steps in and helps the family of the firefighter in the time between the incident and when their employer/insurance kicks in.
The Fire On the Mountain run will be relatively short ride up highway 21 on July 14th with food and music at the destination. We're still working out the details but so far everyone we've bounced this idea off of has had positive comments and knows someone who fights wildland fires. We're hoping this run takes on a life of it's own and grows.
Once the finer details are worked out we'll get flyers made. If you'd like to help out, hit us up on
facebook.
Peace and chicken grease - Sean
