I am walking unsupported for eight continuous days from the Police Memorial in Central London, to the Police Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum, Lichfield, Staffordshire. A distance of 153 miles, mostly along the National Canal Network.

COPS provides peer support opportunities and access to counselling services to help surviving family members (‘survivors’) rebuild their shattered lives."Your loss is a part of who you are but COPS helps you realise that it doesn’t define you. We are all one big family."Since its foundation in 2003, COPS has helped hundreds of police families devastated by the loss of a loved one who died on duty.
