2021 Cycle Across Illinois

This will be my third time joining the fundraiser for ILCOPS.  https://www.ilcops.net/
Tax Exempt #E99380269. IL COPS is a registered 501c3 cartable organization            

I am honored to help this organization raise funds for the families of fallen officers by taking a journey and riding my bicycle over 300 miles from St. Louis to Chicago. This year I am proud of representing  the Chicago Police Department.

In 2020 there were 354 law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty in the United States.

In Illinois, we had nine recognized law enforcement officers and one K9 died in the line of duty.
