Fifty cyclists and support staff
from several police departments made their way through Logan
County on Friday. The group rides from Alton to Chicago not
only as a fundraiser but to raise awareness of needs of the
families of fallen officers. COPS, which stands for Concerns for Police Survivors,
is a not-for-profit organization that helps families of officers
slain in the line of duty. This was the sixth annual event in Illinois.
Several state colleges have offered dorm rooms to the
cyclists, and many communities and restaurants have given meals to
the group to help them on their mission. More information is
available at
