In 2015 the first Kansas EMS providers rode with the National EMS Memorial Bike Ride (NEMSMBR) in honor of Benjamin J. (Jay) Finney from Sedgwick County EMS (SCEMS) finishing in Colorado Springs for the National EMS Memorial Service.
A lone rider from SCEMS returned to the NEMSMBR in 2017 to start Team Kansas EMS.
Last year Team Kansas EMS consisted of 6 Kansas EMS providers riding for Fallen Kansas EMS providers as well as of EMS providers throughout the nation on both the East Coast and virtual routes.
The tradition continues honoring those EMS providers that have given the ultimate sacrifice or have dedicated their lives to EMS and made an impact on the EMS community locally, regionally or nationally.
