Cycle Across Illinois to Visit Orland Police

The Illinois Chapter of COPS (Concerns of Police Survivors) will bring its 7th annual Cycle Across Illinois charity bicycle ride to Orland Park on Sunday.

The riders are law enforcement officers from many
different agencies and backgrounds, in addition to several survivors and supporters. The goal of the ride
is to raise money and awareness for the families of fallen officers in Illinois.

The Cycle Across Illinois will begin Wednesday at the Mississippi River in Alton and end on Sunday at Gold Star
Families Memorial and Park, just east of Soldier’s Field.
