In 2005, the Cycle Across Illinois benefiting Illinois Concerns of Police Survivors (ILCOPS) was started as a memorial and fundraising bicycle ride across the state. This ride recognizes and honors the extraordinary contributions of law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty and raises money to support their survivors.
This 17th annual ride will cover over 340 miles, starting in Alton, IL on Thursday, July 15th and completing the journey in Chicago, IL on Sunday, July 18th.
Since 2012, Normal Police Department has participated in the Cycle Across Illinois. This year, Normal Police Department Officers Chad Bock and Matt Kirkham will ride while Officer Melissa Zabukovec provides support for the riders in honor of the fallen officers and their survivors. Other Officers will join in a "virtual ride".
Please consider donating to our ride and organization as we continue to remember our fallen and support their families.
Respectfully,
Chad, Melissa, & Matt
