Hello, in March 2013 My husband give me the best present I could ever  want, a Kidney.  I had been suffering from Kidney failure following the birth of our son, Jack in June 2008.  I had to have dialysis prior to my transplant.  Following this I wanted to complete a cycle charity ride, I then chose this one so here are the details.

I am taking part in the UK Police Unity Tour between the 18th and 20th July 2014, cycling from the National Memorial In London to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. 

We will be covering 170 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 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. 

Whilst realising 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 survivors have all the help they need to cope with such a tragedy, and that they remain part of the police family.

COPS enables survivors to help survivors. Only another survivor can fully understand what new survivors endure, and that shared experience is the basis for the peer support programme.

COPS aims to build a network of survivors around the UK, developing the capability of having a local survivor as soon as required. The extent of help provided will be controlled by the new survivor. Sometimes an understanding listener is needed. Sometimes more practical help is required. Whatever the need, COPS will be able to put survivors in touch with those who truly understand.

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

Regards

Rachel Collins
