Every year current and retired members of the Granite City Police Department take part in the Cycle Across Illinois charity bike ride. The Cycle Across Illinois charity bike ride is the largest fundraiser for the Illinois Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors. This fundraiser assists ILCOPS in helping those who have lost their loved one in the line of duty.
I participate each year in honor of my friend and coworker, Jeremy Chambers # 101 of the Cahokia Police Department. Jeremy was killed by a drunk driver on April 24, 2006 while serving the citizens of Cahokia. Jeremy served the citizens of Cahokia as a Police Officer, Fire Fighter and EMT. Jeremy was an inspiration to many people, including me.
While the team goal is $ 5000, any amount that you can donate is appreciated.
