The founder of Ride to the Wall (RTTW) joins the HOG-POD to tell us a little bit about himself, his connection to Harley-Davidson and how, as the founder, the Ride to The Wall is now an annual motorcycle event that touches the lives of tens of thousands of people.
From the humble beginnings of just a handful of bikes, the ride To The Wall has grown year on year in both size, popularity and importance to tens of thousands of people known as ‘Wallers’. They join together to remember the of the lives and sacrifices of the men and women that have been lost their lives in service of our country at the National Memorial Arboretum, the Wall.
Ride to the Wall received the Queens Award for Voluntary Service, recognising the effort of both Martin, and the now 300 strong team of volunteers which make this event possible each year.
Now 16 years strong, Ride To The Wall has, in Martin’s words, ‘remained pure’, with no commercial or corporate element involved. On purely the donations and purchases of RTTW merchandise by the growing family of Wallers, the Charity remains dedicated to it’s core values.
