In these most challenging times, it is an honor to be participating in my third Police Unity Tour Challenge Ride and to once again join fellow members of law enforcement as we raise awareness about America’s fallen officers. This year, I will be riding in memory of LASD Deputy Jerry Ortiz - EOW June 24, 2005, and Dave W. March - EOW April 29, 2002.

I hope you will support me by making a donation to my page today.

Today in the United States, some 900,000 law enforcement officers put their lives on the line for the safety and protection of others. But that protection comes at a very high price. Here are a few sobering statistics:

-Every 60 hours a peace officer is killed protecting our families and communities

-Each year, there are over 58,000 assaults

-More than 5,000 injuries on law enforcement officers

-On average, 146 officers are killed in the line of duty each year

The funds we raise help support The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial which honors America’s fallen law enforcement heroes who have died in the line of duty. Our mission is to tell the story of America’s law enforcement officers and make it safer for those who continue to serve.

My participation in the Police Unity Tour helps sponsor the Memorial and its programs like the Officer of the Month Award, Recently Fallen Alert notifications, and other special projects.

With every dollar that I raise for the Police Unity Tour, I’m doing my part to honor our nation’s law enforcement officers. Please help by supporting my fundraising efforts with a donation!

Thank you for your generous support!
