Robert Pandya is Indian’s media relations guy and a general all around good Joe. He sent this out yesterday, and I thought I’d share it here since a lot of our readers are military, law enforcement, and firefighters.

“Roland Sands and I spent some time together last week chatting about things not motorcycling. Health, time on this planet, marriage (his not mine) and life in general. He told me about Dave Ruhl, a firefighter from the Black Hills who had just died while scouting a wildfire in California. I learned from a local article that firefighters often transfer to hot spots to assist other states, and while we talked amidst the constant burble of motorcycles in the background it was clear that Mr. Ruhl’s commitment to the safety of total strangers had really affected Roland. He decided to put up a donation link on his blog – http://www.rolandsands.com/blog/605/rsd-benefit-for-fallen-firefighter. Click the “Donate” button to learn more about David Ruhl. If you can spare a few bucks and help spread the word for the family of a man who chose to help others for a living – please consider sharing this link.”

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
