Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking part in the UK Police Unity Tour between the 29th & 31st July 2016, cycling from the National Police Memorial in London to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.

We will be covering 180 miles and will be raising money for COPS (Care of Police Survivors) who help the families of Police Officers killed in the line of duty rebuild their lives. Each rider will be issued with a blue memorial bracelet inscribed with the name and information of a Police Officer who died in the line of duty, which we will carry to the finish line.

Whist realizing the dangers of policing nobody expects to die in the line of duty. When such a tragedy does occur, the surviving family endures emotions including denial, bewilderment, anger and depression.

The police service does not have the resources to maintain support for these families beyond the immediate aftermath of the death. That is where 'Care of Police Survivors' comes in.

Care of Police Survivors (otherwise known as COPS) is a UK registered charity dedicated to helping the families of police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty, rebuild their lives. It aims to ensure that the survivors have all the help they need to cope with such a tragedy, and that they remain part of the police family.

COPS and I would be very grateful if you could sponsor me to help the families of those who have lost their lives doing a job that they loved.
