My story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Wishes 4 Kids will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

We are a small group of Police Officers from Leicestershire Constabulary who were based at Shepshed Police station and have for a number of years been raising funds for various charities through different challenges.

This years challenge is to cycle from the London Eye to the Eifel tower in four days!!

The team consists of Pete Baker, Andy Clifton, Colin Gardner,  Linda Stephens and Bob Beaken.

The aim is to set off from The London Eye about mid day on 22/06/2008 cycling down to Canterbury for an overnight stop. The following day we will cycle down to Folkestone  where we will cross the Channel to Calais then cycle on to Boulogne where we will stop overnight. On the Tuesday we will continue cycling to Amiens where we will spend the night before completing the journey of 86 miles the following day finishing at the Eifel tower sometime in the late afternoon of the 25/06/2008.

we have a number of companies who are sponsoring us in various ways which incude Halfords who have provided some spares for the challenge ,  tangentlink who have agreed to sponsor us , Eurotunnel National car rental dhl  hancocks and Welcomebreak who are supporting in in this event. Hopefully there will be many more companies and individuals who will follow suit and help us to raise some much needed money for this worthwhile charity.


so please sponsor us now

well we completed the event as planned covering some 279 miles from the London eye to the Eifel tower, most were fairly lond days finishing late evening early night each day.

we are in the process of collecting in all the monies raised off line and once we have a final figure I will post it on the site

I would just like to say thanks to all of you who sponsored us for the event



Many thanks for your support.
