MARCH TOUR DE FRANCE AT TERSIGUEL’S FRENCH COUNTRY RESTAURANT TO HONOR FALLEN POLICE OFFICER
Tersiguel’s French Country Restaurant in the Ellicott City Historic District announced today that they will donate 10% of all prix fixe lunch and dinner sales during the month of March to the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Run in Memory of Jamie Roussey.
Jamie is fondly remembered by the Tersiguel family and many who have dined at their restaurant. His energy, wit and broad smile always made one feel welcomed and at home. Fernand Tersiguel spearheaded a campaign to honor Jamie with a local memorial. The exit street from Parking Lot D in the Ellicott City Historic District (behind Tersiguel’s) was named Roussey Way shortly after his untimely passing. The run is held each year in May and starts in Philadelphia and ends in Baltimore, a distance of 150 miles.

About the American Cancer Society
The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation’s largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing more than $3.4 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year. To learn more about us or to get help, call us any time, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.
