Ramiro Tapia is a proud firefighter with the "Tulare County Fire Department" with a strong commitment to community and wellness. This year, he is excited to celebrate his birthday by running 34 miles—one mile for each year—starting at Tulare County Station 20 in Porterville and ending at Texas Roadhouse in Visalia. This challenge embraces the journey of pushing personal limits while promoting physical fitness.

Inspired by the bravery of fellow firefighters, Tapia created the "Miles That Matter" challenge to honor those who serve and encourage others to get involved in their communities. While he knows this journey will come with its own challenges, he is ready to face them with determination, heart, and support from other first responders. All first responders are welcome to participate in the run! Whether you choose to run a few miles, tackle a half, or take on the full 34—or even ride a bike—your participation makes a difference.

Everyone else can help him achieve his goal by donating to the cause. All funds raised will go towards the Fallen Firefighters Foundation. A foundation that helps support families who have lost a loved one in many ways.

Tapia invites all supporters(runners and donares) to come out and celebrate at Texas Roadhouse, where everyone can reconnect and enjoy each other’s company. Additionally, a blood drive organized by the red cross will be on site.
