The 16th annual Rick Graham Diabetes Awareness Memorial Ride will be held on Sunday, Sept. 16.

The ride is held in memory of Rick Graham, a Boston firefighter who suffered a diabetic-related heart attack while riding his motorcycle in 2001.

Bikers will ride 50 miles of back roads starting at 11 a.m. from the Boston Firefighters Union Hall at 55 Hallet St., Boston.

Registration starts at 9 a.m. at the same location on Sept. 16.

The ride ends in the Dudley L. Brown VFW in Onset where there will be music, raffles and food from 2 to 4 p.m.

The donation fee for a rider and passenger is $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Children ages 12 and under ride for $10. The rain date is Sept. 23. Half the proceeds will benefit the American Diabetes Association. The other half is used to help the families of bikers who have passed away.
