22nd Annual Cycle Across Illinois - Matt Kiebles

I recently retired after 22yrs as a police officer & once again am proud to be participating in the Illinois Chapter for Concerns of Police Survivors(ILCOPS) 22nd Annual Cycle Across Illinois. 

ILCOPS is an organization that supports surviving loved ones of officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice…to lay down their lives for their fellow man. In 2025, we were heartbroken by the number of deaths of our brothers and sisters in blue. Sadly, the numbers remain high. 

As members of law enforcement/law enforcement families, we strongly support this organization and find comfort in knowing the ILCOPS organization will be there to support our loved ones should the unthinkable happen. Please consider supporting us as we embark on our ride across Illinois from Edwardsville, near St. Louis, to Chicago, visiting surviving family members, police departments and fallen officer memorials along the way. 

This is my 18th year participating in the ride and I will continue to be a part of this charity and event as long as I am able. Funds raised help to send loved ones of fallen officers, including children, spouses, siblings, parents and colleagues, to grief counseling. ILCOPS is a very worthy cause and I ask that you please consider making a financial contribution.
