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!

My cousin's wife was killed by a drunk driver 2 years ago and they are a first responder family.  My cousin and his in-laws see the horriffic effects that happen to families when their fellow first responders die in the line of duty. The first responder community is like a second family and I appreciate how they get together to raise money for the cause every year. I have participated in this ride quite a few times, only taking last year off to ride across New York state for cancer research. 

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.
