Family and Friends~
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
During National Law Enforcement Officers Week in May of each year, over one thousand law enforcement officers ride their bicycles from North Hanover, NJ to the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington DC. This bicycle ride, known as The Police Unity Tour, raises awareness of officers who have been killed in the line of duty. The secondary purpose is to raise funds for the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial and Museum in Washington DC. The Tour leaves New Jersey on May 9, 2010 and arrives in Washington DC on May 12, 2010.
Please assist me in honoring all the fallen officers who gave their life to protect others, as "We Ride For Those Who Died".
Please donate what you can. Every little bit counts. Let them know that we will Never Forget them and continue to support their memory and family.
I will be riding in memory of Special Agent Julie Y. Cross. Agent Cross was shot and killed on June 4, 1980 during a robbery attempt while she and her partner were working undercover. The assailants were unrelated to the investigation. Her killer was captured 12 years later, convicted of murder and sentenced to death. Agent Cross had been in law enforcement for two years, with the San Diego Police Department, prior to being hired by the U.S Secret Service in San Diego. She had just been assigned to the Los Angeles Field Office when the incident occurred. Agent Cross was 26 years of age.
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It it also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.
Many thanks for your support - and PLEASE forward this to anyone you think might want to donate too!
