Officers Will Bike 300 Miles For Fallen Brethren


On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, three Chicago-area police officers will ride to benefit the families of officers killed in the line of duty.

Come September, Northbrook Police Officer Michael Shep plans to drive 800 miles to New York City, then bike another 300 miles more from Ground Zero to the Pentagon.

Shep is putting those miles on his car and his bicycle as part of Tour De Force 2011, an annual ride that honors victims of 9/11 and raises money for the families of officers who have been killed in the line of duty across the country each year.

Anyone interested in donating to Shep’s ride with the Tour de Force can do so by searching for his name on the donations page of the Tour de Force website, at http://www.tourdeforceny.com/sections/donation.asp, or by contacting Shep directly at 847-509-5381 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 847-509-5381 end_of_the_skype_highlighting.
