In previous years I have helped out as part of the Support Team. However, with this being the 10th year since we lost Andrew, I have decided to take part as a cyclist!

Many moons ago, Andrew and I took part in the London to Brighton cycle ride together, when Adam and Emma were little we would go on family bike rides.

This ride is around 180 miles and will be tough, as until signing up for the Unity Tour, I had not been on a bike since getting Percy (7 years ago!). I would be very grateful for any support towards this challenge.

Love, Claire x

The Police Unity Tour is a long-distance cycle ride undertaken by hundreds of police officers across the UK in aid of Care of Police Survivors (COPS).

The primary purpose of the Police Unity Tour is to raise awareness of Law Enforcement Officers who have died in the line of duty.

The secondary purpose of the UK tour is to raise funds for Care of Police Survivors, a UK charity dedicated to helping the families of police officers and police staff who have lost their lives on duty.

The cyclists will join together and finish their journey at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, where a Service of Remembrance is being held by COPS for their fallen friends and colleagues. See the video below to hear what the Police Unity Tour means for the charity's beneficiaries (survivors).
