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!
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.
My Why:
I'm feeling old. I'm turning 40 this year, and I needed something to challenge myself, dial in the discipline, and more importantly drive awareness and funds to a great cause. I had always been curious about this event, and when i read more about it, it made a ton of sense. Similar to other organizations I work with, FBBCF focuses on those families who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Often times they are behind the scenes picking up the pieces and the mental, physical and emotional wreckage of losing a loved who who served our community. Service is not a political stance, service is not polarizing, service is standing up and saying I want to help make our community better. These first responders do this every day, and unfortunately many of them pay the ultimate sacrifice to keep evil out of our homes and community. This ride is to drive support and awareness to those families left behind.
Please feel free to donate early and often. We have a lofty goal that I plan on raising at least once more before we are done!
If you are interested in getting involved in the race, reach out, we need a team, jerseys, and more fundraisers. Lets go!
