About St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund

St. Christopher Truckers Development and Relief Fund is a nationwide charity that helps over-the-road semi-truck drivers and their families when an illness or injury has caused them to be out of work. The SCF also provides free health and wellness programs that benefit professional drivers and the trucking industry. The organization was founded by Dr. John McElligott in partnership with Dave Nemo, host of The Dave Nemo Show (XM Radio Channel 146) and his business partner Michael Burns. Together, they launched the truck driver charity to come to the aid of professional drivers in need.
