## Resource

A $20,000 reward fund is now live to catch the driver who killed veteran postal worker Jeff Illig in a fatal hit-and-run on May 13th — a crime that left his bike stripped and his family shattered. Known for 30 years of service and as a devoted father, Jeff’s legacy is being honored through this campaign, which also aims to build a permanent memorial and promote bike safety. His son Nick, back from overseas, is now handling the family’s affairs, and the fund will help cover legal and estate costs. Donations are tax-deductible, managed by the Nevada Bicycle Coalition, and coordinated with Secret Witness to ensure justice. The community is rallying to bring closure — and hold the perpetrator accountable. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
