2026 Cycle Across Illinois - John Kranz

Family & Friends,

I know many of you are aware of the Annual IL COPS Ride and have sponsored me in the past, thank you for your generosity which makes a difference that is meaningful and felt. This will be our 22nd Annual Ride, 17th for me, hopeful your support will be with me again on each pedal of the ride this year.

For those that are not familiar, the “IL COPS Cycle Across Illinois” is a 400-mile bike ride across the State of Illinois. We cycle from Alton, IL (St Louis area) to Chicago, IL over the course of 4-days raising funds in support of Families who have lost a love one in the line of duty, service, and first-responders. 

I am reaching out to ask you to think about donating to the cause this year. Please know that your generosity supports children participating in camps and other programs whose activities are developed to help them along their difficult journey of loss and healing. 

If you are interested in making a difference for these Families, please click the link provided below and select the “Donate Button – John Kranz”. 

Mindful that economic realities make it a tough time for many, know that your prayers for these Families and safety for the Riders are just as powerful & appreciated, thank you!

With gratitude,
John Kranz

HONOR the HEROES. REMEMBER the FALLEN. SUPPORT their FAMILIES.
