In memory of those lost to suicide and to support families and individuals facing the aftermath, a powerful event is taking place in Lakeland, FL. This escorted ride and community rally aims to bring awareness to mental health and suicide prevention by partnering with various local organizations and resource programs. The event, hosted by the Love Surrounds You Memorial Foundation, is set to be a major gathering at the Sun-N-Fun Fly-In, Lakeland Airport.
With over 70 vendors, live entertainment, food, drinks, and even weekend camping, the event promises a vibrant atmosphere for everyone involved. Last year’s ride saw over 400 participants and attracted more than 1,000 attendees to the rally. This year, the turnout is expected to be even greater, with the Polk County Sheriff, Lakeland Police, and over 100 military veterans joining to ensure a smooth, safe, and impactful event.
The Love Surrounds You Memorial Foundation has teamed up with Lakeland Harley Davidson, Infidels MC (an organization of active and retired veterans), Revolution Church, and other supportive groups to raise funds for scholarships. These scholarships help provide resources, hope, and support to those in the local community struggling with mental health challenges. The event invites all motorcycle clubs, riders, and even four-wheel drivers to unite for this important cause. There’s even more excitement this year, as a nationwide travel train of motorcycles will be converging on Lakeland from 37 states, including Maine, Washington, and California, with a planned meetup in North Carolina before riding together to the event.
If you’re interested in joining or volunteering, reach out and be a part of this meaningful community effort. The event kicks off at Roscoe’s Chili Challenge at 5320 Shady Oak Dr N, Lakeland, FL, and concludes at SUN ‘n FUN Fly-In Airport at 4175 James C. Ray Dr, Lakeland, FL.
