RIDE TO REMEMBER by Michele Myers

Thank you to everyone who met Michele Walsh Myers (class of ’85) at Seaford HS today (7-30-23) as she culminated her 4-day 168 mile bicycle ride from Montauk through Suffolk and Nassau Counties, into the CITY while stopping along the way to visit firehouses, precincts and the WTC site. Our sincere appreciation goes to Michele for her fundraising Ride to Remember. i

This in-person find-raising event is a tribute to five Seaford High School alumni who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. They are FDNY Battalion Chief Thomas Haskell, FDNY Timothy Haskell, NYPD John Perry, Rob Sliwak (Cantor-Fitzgerald) and Michael Wittenstein (Cantor-Fitzgerald).

All proceeds support the Patriot Award, a monetary scholarship given to five deserving graduating seniors of Seaford High School in honor of the memory of the fallen alumni.

Please meet Michele at Seaford High School on Sunday, July 30th at 3 PM for the culmination of her 2023 RIDE TO REMEMBER.

This bike tour is to reflect on the tragedies of September 11, 2001, and remember all those who died. The event pays homage to the heroes of 9/11; 23 NYPD, 343 FDNY and 37 PAPD and our military personnel killed in the war on terrorism since.

The journey makes stops at various 9/11 memorials including “Garden of Remembrance” in Hauppauge which pays homage to the 187 Suffolk County residence and the “Patriot Garden Memorial” located in Eisenhower Park, a tribute to the 344 Nassau County residence, all who lost their lives in the attacks. On the first three days additional stops will be made to many fire departments between Montauk and the Bronx. The fourth and final day will start at FDNY Squad 18 and concludes at the Seaford 9/11 Memorial, Seaford High School, Seaford, N.Y. (my hometown and alma mater). There we will honor the five alumni we lost that day, two of which were classmates of mine. They are Tommy Haskell, Timmy Haskell, John Perry, Rob Sliwak and Michael Wittenstein.

Proceeds of the Ride to Remember Bike Tour will go to the Seaford High School 9/11 Patriot Memorial Fund, a not-for-profit corporation established to honor the memory of five Seaford HS graduates killed at the World Trade Center. The Seaford High School 9/11 Memorial committee determined that the best way to honor the memory of those lost was to construct and maintain a permanent memorial on the grounds of Seaford HS and award 5 scholarships to graduating seniors each year who exemplify the spirit and lives of the five alumni tragically lost at the World Trade Center attacks.

The Seaford High School 9/11 Memorial fund is 501 (C) (3) charitable organizations. For additional information about this memorial: https://seaford911.org/
