I haven't ridden a bike besides the stationary Peloton in my basement in many, many years. I'm a bit nervous to do a 65 mile journey... but I’m proud to do it for the cause. I'll be riding along side my husband, Matt, who rides as part of Septa Transit Police. Read below to learn about the charity this event supports.
The 38th Annual Ben to the Shore ride supports 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. They achieve this by providing necessary financial relief for the families of fallen or critically injured first responders (police officers, firefighters, EMTs); cultivating positive relationships and interactions between police officers and the children in the communities they serve; and providing mental and emotional wellbeing resources to first responders and their families.
