As some will know I retired from the Police in February after 27 years service.

In that time I have seen firsthand the support that COPS give to the families of officers who have died on duty.

I am going to be part of a team cycling from Gretna to the National site of remembrance at Lichfield, Staffordshire. This is a distance of 220 miles over 3 days

COPS provides peer support opportunities and access to counselling services to help surviving family members (‘survivors’) rebuild their shattered lives.

Since its foundation in 2003, COPS has helped hundreds of police families devastated by the loss of a loved one who died on duty.

I would be so grateful if you could give a donation to assist COPS in continuing their fantastic work
