| From Oct 14 through Oct 17 this year we will be joining a group of thirty cyclists on The Ride for Semper Fi (www.therideforsemperfi.com). We will ride our bicycles over 400 miles from Phoenix, AZ to the Balboa Navy Medical Center in San Diego, CA. Our goal is simple: Raise awareness and badly needed money for the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund (www.semperfifund.org).- - -The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund (IMSFF) was established in 2004 and provides financial assistance to Marines and Sailors injured in combat or with life threatening illnesses. Since its inception, the fund has provided more than 30 million dollars in grants to Marines, Sailors, and their families.- - -When a Marine or Sailor is injured, their entire family shares the pain and the burden of recovery. Normal life is put on hold as loved ones travel great distances, at a moment’s notice, to be at the bedside, often for weeks or months. Recovery from major catastrophic injuries may take our service members several years to recover. The family members take leave from their jobs, often without pay, and incur additional expenses for child-care, lodging, travel, and other necessities. Few families are prepared for the expenses they face. They need help, and they need it quickly. The IMSFF was created to meet this need.- - -Please join us in Serving Those That Preserve our Freedom by making a tax deductable contribution. Your contribution will have a life-long impact on the Marines and Sailors who receive your help. Thank you in advance for your generous gift. - - -Bob & Jill |
