Monica Zahasky
President
Monica Zahasky has participated in the ride every year since 2002, the first year the group rode to Washington DC from Indianapolis. Cycling in this ride is Monica’s way of giving back to the families that have lost officers in the line of duty and honoring the sacrifice by her fellow police officers. She wants her participation to remind communities of the sacrifices made by law enforcement professionals, to show her respect for law enforcement officers, and to show love to the survivors left behind after a line of duty death. Monica lives in Bloomington with her family.
Holly Heath
Vice President
Holly was introduced to Cops Cycling through her dad, John Heath. He served with the Allen County Sheriffs Department for 21 years and has cycled with Cops Cycling since 2009. In 2015, Holly rode 3 days with her dad and was hooked. It was at the Wabash Valley
Correctional Facility, reading the ODMP for John H. Grimm, that a true passion and understanding for the officers killed in the line of duty and their survivors was planted. Holly and her two boys, Colton and Weston reside in Leo, Indiana on their family farm. Holly enjoys cycling and running, as well as, being active with her family and community as a small business owner.

Stacey Miller
Board Member
Stacey Miller first rode with Cops Cycling for Survivors in 2009. She was tricked into it, really. With no affiliation to law enforcement the ride was a novelty. But after one long day in the saddle, reading ODMPs, meeting survivors and befriending other riders she was hooked. As the token “American” on the ride she looks to bridge the gap between survivors, civilians and law enforcement. She rides every year with the support of her husband, Scott and daughters, Grace. Lucy and Vivian.
