Chicago Firefighters Bicycle to Toronto
Tax deductible
On September 14, 2019, Ignite the Spirit will begin a week-long bicycle ride to Toronto, Canada - averaging close to 80 miles of biking each day! All proceeds will benefit the Ignite The Spirit Cancer Fund.
Unfortunately, we all know someone that has been diagnosed and may have even lost their battle with Cancer. Because of the inherent dangers that Firefighter/Paramedics face on a daily basis we are exposed to known and unknown carcinogens. While many of our Brothers and Sisters are surviving in remission and leading normal productive lives, the fact remains that our calling to serve has taken far too many of us from our family and friends. This is a groundbreaking effort for ALL OF US to make a difference in the lives of the men and women of The Chicago Fire Department and to be there for them when they need us most.
The Ignite The Spirit Fund was created with the idea of financially helping our members when they are faced with battling Cancer. It may come in the form of money to help with medical costs or something as simple as meals delivered to try to help with their fight. If we can relieve, even a small amount of stress during their treatment it is our hope this will give them MORE STRENGTH TO FIGHT these horrible diseases.
When the bell rings we respond, we help. That's what we do. THAT'S WHO WE ARE. Please help US help our Brothers and Sisters when they need our help! Thank you from the entire CFD Family.
