21 yrs ago I was seriously injured on duty. Thanks to care from a specialist surgeon and support agencies I made it back against expectation. As my career nears its end, more officers than ever need help and I would like to give others the opportunities I've had.

To do this this on the day the Tour de France rides it's longest stage, I will cycle it with them .... 100s of miles away on a cycle trainer in a small room at a Police training centre.

The aim is 218km (135.5 miles) in the time that days Northamptonshire Police early shift are on duty - 8 hrs. For every minute over the target will add 1 extra penalty mile!
