Story

Welcome to our web page.  Please dig deep and help us raise money for Care of Police Survivors.  http://www.ukcops.org

We have completed this ride and will be presenting the funds we have raised to COPS during a police memorial event in July 2008.  Please continue to donate as we wish to reach our target of £5000 by that time.  Thank you all for your support.

Care of Police Survivors (COPS) is dedicated to helping surviving UK families rebuild their lives after the trauma of a line of duty death of a Police Officer. It aims to provide the survivors with all the help they need to cope with such a tragedy by survivors helping survivors. 

To raise money we have put together a small Metropolitan Police team to take part in the 'Unity Tour' cycle event in the USA.:

Chief Insp. Rob Atkin    - CCC Lambeth
Sergeant Gary Byfield  - Copers Cope Safer Neighbourhood Team.
Sergeant Lee Howes   - Bickley Safer Neighbourhood Team.
Constable Jo Hill        -  Kingston Response Team

We will be cycling 285 miles with American Law Enforcement Officers into Washington DC to co-inside with their Police Memorial Week.  Each officer rides in memory of a dedicated person (s):

PC Kevin FLETCHER (Met Police) 8th August 2007 - Lee riding for.

PC Tokunbo EZOBI (Met Police) 1st January 2003 - Gary riding for.
