The Police Unity Tour was organized in 1997 by Officer Patrick P. Montuore of the Florham Park Police Department, New Jersey and is an annual bicycle trek from various points across the United States ending at the Memorial in Washington D.C. Since its first ride with 18 riders making a four-day fund-raising bicycle ride from Florham Park, New Jersey to the National Law Enforcement Memorial to the latest 2007 ride with over 1,000 members nationwide making the trip, the Tour has raised over 4.35 million dollars for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. The Tour's motto, "We ride for those who died", is a simple and yet poignant reminder of the more than 17,900 officers who have been died in the line of duty since 1792.
If you would like to donate to the Police Unity Tour of Florida and help out Connie's friend who is taking part in the ride that starts out on May 10th and arrives in Washington D.C. during National Police Week (which runs from May 11th to 17th this year), you can click here to sponsor him and donate to this worthy cause. If you'd like to donate to a different chapter, then please visit the main web page for the Police Unity Tour where you can make a donation, view photos, sign the guest book, or link to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial web page where you can learn more about the men and women who have died in the line of duty protecting and serving their communities.

Thanks so much for spreading the word about this! The actual link to donate for my friend's ride is here though -

Please help him out! He had a gold tournament scheduled to help raise a lot of money but it was canceled by the golf course at the last minute. He's running out of time. He's a kind man and goes above and beyond for work, his family and our church.
Thank You again!
Very commendable!

ReplyDeleteA new one to me. There again I was also shocked by all the volunteer fighters/ rescuers who were refused compensation from the 9/11 fund.
