Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
I am excited to participate in the 37th Annual The Ben to the Shore, which supports the Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation! On Sunday, July 21, 2024, I will be among 4,000 cyclists who will make this 65 mile trek from Philadelphia to a celebratory finish at the Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City. 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) and cultivating positive relationships and interactions between police officers and the children in the communities they serve.
I support Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation for many reasons. My Dad was a Cheltenham police officer. He and I know many Philadelphia police officers, as well as officers from our local towns of Warminster, Warrington, Doylestown and Bensalem. Tragically some were gunned down in the line of duty. I'll see their families riding in their memory as well. Last, my grandfather Frank Connors was a Philly fireman. He'll be on my mind as well.
