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!
I ride to honor the memory of all of the firefighters and police officers who have paid the supreme sacrifice for our safety. Especially, Tommy Royds, Sean Demuynck, Tommy Hayes, Ed Setzer from Lower Merion who I had the honor of knowing while they were alive.
I also ride to honor the memory of those in my family who chose a life of public service and all of those in public service: My Dad who was a fire chief and United States Marine, my Mom who was a nurse, my Pop Pop who was a Health Official, my Grandpop who was a Police Officer, my Uncle was a Police Chief. My brother, niece and nephew are all currently firefighters... the list goes on.
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.
