I am excited and honored to once again participate in the Police Unity Tour with Chapter 4!
I have proudly participated in the Police Unity Tour since 2015 and am a member of Team Colorado. Over the years, I have had the tremendous honor and privilege of riding in memory of several police officers who made the ultimate sacrifice and died in the line of duty. Each officer has their own story, family, and legacy, and it has been a humbling experience to help ensure that their sacrifice is never forgotten.
This year, I have not yet chosen the officer for whom I will ride. I am currently researching a historical law enforcement officer who died in the line of duty and whose story deserves to be remembered and honored.
The Police Unity Tour's motto is:
“We Ride for Those Who Died.”
The Tour raises awareness about America's law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty while supporting the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and honoring the survivors they leave behind. I hope you will consider supporting me by making a donation to my fundraising page.
Today in the United States, approximately 900,000 law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day for the safety and protection of their communities. Unfortunately, that service can come at a tremendous cost.
A few sobering statistics:
Every 61 hours, a law enforcement officer is killed in the line of duty protecting our families and communities.
Each year, there are more than 58,000 assaults on law enforcement officers.
On average, approximately 146 officers are killed in the line of duty each year.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial honors our nation's fallen law enforcement heroes who have died in the line of duty. Its mission is to tell the story of America's law enforcement officers, keep their memories alive, and make it safer for those who continue to serve.
The Police Unity Tour has raised millions of dollars in support of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and Museum. My participation helps raise funds to preserve the memories of our fallen heroes and support programs dedicated to honoring their service and sacrifice.
Past projects funded by the Police Unity Tour have included the $1.1 million re-engraving of every fallen officer's name on the Memorial wall, as well as electronic kiosks at the Memorial to help visitors quickly locate the names of fallen officers.
With every dollar I raise for the Police Unity Tour, I am doing my part to honor our nation's fallen law enforcement officers and support the families and survivors they left behind. Your donation truly makes a difference.
Most importantly, I want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported me throughout the years. Since beginning this journey in 2015, I have been incredibly fortunate to receive donations, encouragement, and unwavering support from so many friends, family members, coworkers, and members of our community. Your generosity has allowed me to continue participating in this meaningful event year after year.
Whether you have donated in the past, offered words of encouragement, shared my fundraising efforts, or supported me in any other way, please know how deeply grateful I am. I could not continue this journey without you.
Thank you for your continued generosity, support, and commitment to remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Together, we ride for those who died.
Thank you for your generous support!
