Thanks for taking the time to visit our 2nd JustGiving page. I am one of 7 police officers from Greater Manchester Police plus our close friend Kev Sefton who are riding John O Groats to Lands End starting 29th June 2013. We are raising money for 2 charities, Macmillan Cancer and The Police Dependants Trust.

PC Nicola Hughes and PC Fiona Bone were both fatally injured in Mottram, Tameside, on 18 September 2012. Our original plan was to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, as all of us will have family or friends who have been affected by Cancer (please see our other just giving page www.justgiving.com/team-jogle). However, as two of our colleagues were taken from us in such tragic circumstances. We also wanted to raise money for the Police Dependants trust and National Police Fund on their behalf. Every year hundreds of police officers suffer serious injuries on duty. Sadly, some of these officers lose their lives. The Police Dependants’ Trust provides support to help ease some of the pressures police families face when a police officer has been killed or injured on duty.

We have set ourselves the target of completion in 8 days to include a visit to the Hyde memorial garden on day 5.

 

 

The planned route starting June 29th is as follows;

JOG - Inverness. 120 miles

Inverness - Perth. 113 miles

Perth - Dumfries. 118 miles

Dumfries - Preston. 125 miles

Preston - Shrewsbury (via Hyde memorial garden) 117 miles

Shrewsbury - Bath. 118 miles

Bath - Okehampton. 103 miles
