Ben to the Shore 2026
This ride supports Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation, and we’re grateful for the opportunities they’ve given our family to connect with others who understand, and through that, organizations like the Montgomery County Hero Fund.
The Hero Fund has been there every step of the way for the boys and me. Not just in the immediate aftermath, but in the following days, months, and years. They showed up, and they stayed.
They support families of injured and fallen military and first responders. I’ve come to understand that “injured” isn’t always physical. The way the Hero Fund has supported us shows they get that too.
Some of this is visible. A lot of it isn’t. There are parts of this that happen behind closed doors, in the day-to-day, that even the people closest to you don’t always get to see.
In our time of loss, the Hero Fund stepped in to help our family, and they helped me when it mattered most. Their fundraising efforts have made a real difference for my boys, including access to resources we needed, like ongoing therapy that continues to help them work through everything we’ve been handed.
I ride for the spouses who stand beside us, sacrificing just as much so we can do this job, and carrying the weight of it long after we walk through the door.
I ride for our children who have learned the hard way the value of time and how quickly it can be taken.
I ride for the ones still out there every day, carrying more than most people will ever see.
I ride for all of our fallen brothers and sisters.
If you’re able to support, whether it’s me or any rider, just know it’s going toward something that truly makes a difference for families like mine.
Thank You!
Jason
