Hi everyone! At the suggestion of several "senior" SBRA members (thanks girls!), I'm making my first post here...

For those of you who don't know me, I'm a long time member of SBRA and a recently retired Suffolk County Police Department detective, having served the people of Suffolk for almost 37 years.

I am posting today to announce my participation in this year's Tour de Force NY, in honor of the 20th. anniversary of 9/11. This year the Tour will consist of close to 300 riders and will be starting at Fenway Park in Boston and ending at Battery Park in NYC. Follow the link https://grouprev.com/2021_TDF-james-demarco to my fundraising page and read all about the Tour and the wonderful work it does for the families of those left behind on 9/11. And please, consider making a donation to this incredible cause! It's easy and quick and will make you feel good...no donation is too small, and every penny is put to good use. My original fundraising goal was my SCPD detective shield (1397) and then I raised the bar to my police officer shield (3326). My current goal is a combination of both shields and we are about 87% there! Thanks in advance and see you on the road and the trails. Jim
