Jimmy’s Fight
Off Road United Foundation is asking the Plant City community to gather together in support of Jimmy Riley, a former United States Marine and current employee at the Plant City Fire Rescue. He was recently diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme, a highly aggressive cancer that is usually found in the brain or on the spinal cord.
Jimmy’s Fight is a fundraising event held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 22 at Walden Lake Car Wash and Service Center, 1414 S. Alexander St. The event will raise money to support him and his family as they go through this difficult time.
Fire departments from all local surrounding counties will be in attendance. The event will feature a barbecue and there will be radio stations and news outlets on-site. Some participants include Hook a Hero, Brewington’s Towing, Lakeland FD, Tampa FD, Hillsborough County FD, BBQ pit-master from Lakeland FD and the crew of St. Florian Gasparilla float.
Off-Road United is a nonprofit that aids families of fallen first responders and those injured in the line of duty. It will be in attendance to help with this event in any way they need assistance. Those who have a Jeep are also encouraged to join Off-Road United throughout the fundraiser. Those interested in coming should contact the group via its Facebook page so they can count the rigs needed for the event.
