Last year 46 people died on the roads in West Mercia and 486 were seriously injured, some with life changing injuries. West Mercia Police are supporting the national Andy Cox challenge from 16-22 May raising vital funds for RoadPeace.

Our aim is for officers and staff from West Mercia Police, Hereford & Worcester Fire & Rescue and Shropshire Fire & Rescue to cover 495 miles (the circumference of West Mercia) on 3 spin bikes that will be in place at our Headquarters, Shrewsbury police station and Hereford police station during the week. Each participant can do as many hours as they wish across the week, pledging at least £10 to our Just Giving page for every hour they complete. We are of course encouraging everyone to also raise funds amongst their friends, relatives and work colleagues to support the important work that RoadPeace are providing locally.

The event has already received support and sponsorship from West Mercia PCC and West Mercia Police Sports fund.
