Wilton VIPS (Volunteers in Partnership with the Sheriffs) joined SSD deputies, family and friends on July 10 to honor fallen Deputy Jeffrey Mitchell as part of the annual Memorial Ride. Each year a motorcycle ride is organized in remembrance of Mitchell, who was shot and killed on Meiss Road in 2006. The Wilton VIPS handed out water to over 125 motorcycle riders.
The motorcyclists joined this year’s ride to travel from the Freeport area down Twin Cities Road to arrive in Wilton at Clay Station Road. From there the riders traveled along Dillard Road to Meiss Road, Their destination was the Jeffrey Mitchell Memorial site where they joined friends and other supporters of the event.
The motorcycle trip generates donations and serves as a fundraiser to cover the upkeep of the memorial site. This year’s ride generated over $1000 to be donated to Children of Fallen Heroes founded by Mitchell’s widow, Crystal. The donation is earmarked to put children through sports camp.
