Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
I am excited to participate in the 38th Annual The Ben to the Shore, which supports the Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation!
The Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation (FBBCF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit committed to improving the lives of children in the Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey area. We achieve this by providing necessary financial relief for the families of fallen or critically injured first responders (police officers, firefighters, EMTs); cultivating positive relationships and interactions between police officers and the children in the communities they serve; and providing mental and emotional wellbeing resources to first responders and their families.
Another reason I am riding is simply because I can. For those of you whom know my story you will understand. For those that don’t, let me explain. 7 years ago I broke my back and at times wasn’t sure if I would walk again. After 5 major back surgeries, 22 months of physical therapy, 7 rounds of injections and multiple other treatments I never thought I would be here. Preparing for a 30 mile bike ride in honor of those who have fallen. I feel honored and blessed for even the opportunity to be on a bike, supporting our heroes and sharing this opportunity with so many others. If you feel inclined to donate, awesome. If you aren’t able to, even words of encouragement would mean the world. Thanks for reading and hope you can help me on this journey. Say a prayer for those who sacrifice so much for us day in and day out.
