After tragedy, love, support and togetherness are needed most. Adam Keller and Jared Marinelli, best known around the world for their 'viral flash mob wedding proposal video', were deeply affected by the tragedy in Orlando. The couple knew they wanted to do something to give back to all those affected. While Jared and Adam already have a full schedule teaching classes at JoyRide, they decided to host several "Fundraiser Rides" to help the victims' families. It's beautiful to see community come together in times of need!

They were able to raise more than $5K (and counting) for Equality Florida's Pulse Victims Fund, which benefits the victims of the mass shooting in Orlando, including the victims' families and survivors in need of support. Thank you JoyRiders for all your generosity, energy and compassion! #RideforOrlando #TeamJadam #strongertogether Funds raised by the 'Fundraiser Rides' go to: Equality Florida Pulse Victims Fund.

Thank you Adam, Jared and JoyRide for organizing and leading the inspiring #OrlandoStrong fundraising rides in all the Fairfield County, CT studios. To see more from this incredible duo, tune in THIS FALL for their brand new HooplaHA series, 'Joy Story' AND a new live stream series part of the Roker Media Network!
