First Post for Team Pierce County in 2017

Thank you for taking the time to check out our Blog for the 2017 Police Unity Tour. We are a team of 6 riders plus Two support personnel that will be fundraising in the coming months to ride and participate in the 20th year of the Police Unity Tour. For those of you who do not know what the Police Unity Tour is, it is a fundraising Bicycle ride that is open to any active or retired Law Enforcement Officer, and family members of those who have lost their relative while in the Line of Duty.

  This year we will be Honoring Officer Jake Gutierrez from the Tacoma Police Department and Sergeant Jason Goodding from the Seaside, Oregon Police Department. Both of these heroes lost their lives in the Line of Duty in 2016.

  The Police Unity Tour is a 501(c) 3 Non-Profit foundation that raises money for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and all that the NLEOM supports.  Each rider and support member has to raise $1,850.00 in order to be accepted in the Tour.  And for us, that means in total our team will have to raise over $14,800.  I have set up this webpage, like I have in years past (See tab to the right for a link to those rides) so that those that are interested in watching how we are doing in the Tour can check in on this Blog before and during the ride to Washington D.C.  If you would like to find out more on that the Police Unity Tour or the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial is all about, I have included links to both in the column to the right and at the bottom of this post.

  Again I would like to Thank You for checking out our Team Blog and check back often to see where we are at in our training, team pictures, who our major contributors are and ultimately, to check in on us each night as we ride in the 300 mile ride over four days from New Jersey to Washington DC.
