The Fraternal Order of Eagles is the primary sponsor of this event, through which Grand Trustee Darrell Rall will ride a motorcycle 25,000 miles in 25 days to raise funds for the F.O.E. Diabetes Research Center. Darrell will start the ride on June 14 in Las Vegas, and end the event Sunday, July 8, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
There are a number of ways to track Darrell’s progress once the ride begins. You will be able to keep close tabs on Darrell’s progress through a live GPS tracking system. Beginning June 14, check in to see where he is on the road, using this link:
A ride schedule is being built and will be complete the day Darrell begins the event. Until then, times and locations may change. Here is that link.
Be aware, however, that there will be little time in Darrell’s schedule to stop for any event. He will have to be on the road up to 18 hours each day to make the goal.
