I am Biking the Tour De Palm Springs Jan. 21st 100 miles on behalf of my brother and hero LCpl PJ Sora USMC. PJ actually passed away in training about 2 miles from my ride route. As it is also on the date of my mother's birthday who is the strongest woman I know, I thought it would be a good tribute to 2 of my heroes. TAPS has helped my family endlessly and I appreciate any support for this charity who impacts 10000's of families who have lost heroes.

I am participating in a special fundraiser in support of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). TAPS provides direct support to families who have been impacted by a death in the military regardless of geography or circumstance.

The funds I raise will flow directly into TAPS programming which supports these families through an amazing network of resources, seminars and publications. TAPS provides these services at no charge to survivors from all branches of the service, including Reserves and National Guard. TAPS’ programs and services are available not only for immediate family, but also for extended family and friends. Please help me honor our fallen heroes by supporting me in this effort. No donation is too big or too small.

Thank you!
