I know I'll be there Thursday night -- the Police Unity Tour fundraiser at Hattricks bar on Franklin Avenue in downtown Tampa. My good friend and fellow cyclist Ellen Pierson sends in this primer about the Police Unity Tour and the fundraising opportunities:
2008 POLICE UNITY TOUR SENDOFF CEREMONY
In May 1997, the Police Unity Tour (PUT) was organized in an effort to bring about public awareness of law enforcement officers that have died in the line of duty and to honor their sacrifices. This mission is primarily accomplished through an annual bicycle trek from various points across the United States to the Memorial, located in Washington , D.C. On May 10-12, 2008, Chapter VIII members will pedal from Va Beach, VA to Wash DC approximately 250 miles.
