Wall to Wall Ride for Remembrance Begins

The Wall to Wall Ride for Remembrance, an annual event honoring police officers who have died in the line of duty, commenced from Brisbane City, with Queensland Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski and Police Minister Mark Ryan seeing off riders headed to Canberra for a service on September 14. This year's baton, symbolizing remembrance, was passed to the riders, though it is empty as there have been no QPS officer fatalities in the past year. The event, taking place before National Police Remembrance Day on September 29, has raised $1.5 million for Police Legacy since 2009, supporting families of fallen officers. Over 3,000 riders participated last year, showing the significant community support for this cause. Additionally, a motorcade event in London, commemorating the September 11 attacks, was planned but has now been canceled, underscoring the ongoing remembrance efforts for first responders.
