Police Unity Tour 2009

I am preparing to do a 4 day 300 mile bike ride with the Police Unity Tour in May 2009. It is a fundraiser/remembrance ride in honor of all the line-of-duty deaths that have occurred to police officers over the years. Every year this event grows. In 2008, they had 1000 riders as well as more than 100 support staff. The event rides from NJ to downtown Washington D.C. where there is a candlelight vigil at the Police Memorial. All of you who know me can understand why this means a lot. I have to collect a minimum of $1700 to be allowed on the ride as well as the first $500 within 2008. I am going with 4 other riders from my department, but we each have to raise $1700 a piece. We are doing various fundraisers (i.e. a softball tournament which was held in the fall and a basketball tournament that will be coming up called Springdale Madness). For all of those who wish to contribute or know someone who may please forward this cause on to them. I created a website to make donations easier at

Also, a quick widget on the right side of my blog makes donations simple. Any help you are willing to give would be greatly appreciated. For those who can't give monetary contributions, please keep me in mind as I train and make this 300 mile ride. Thanks to all.
