I'm riding in the UK Police Unity Tour 2024, yet again! This year as part of the Surrey and Sussex Police team - which means an extra-long distance cycling event (250 miles this year!) that honours the brave police officers and staff who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

Our team, consisting of 20 riders from Surrey Police and Sussex Police, will embark on a tough four-day journey starting in Sussex, moving through Surrey, before joining other police chapters to finish at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.

We are not pro-athletes, but we are all motivated to remember those we have lost and raise funds for Care of Police Survivors (COPS), a UK charity dedicated to helping rebuild the lives of families who have lost loved ones in relation to their duty.

Our goal is ambitious - we aim to raise £8,000 to support COPS' vital work. With your help, we can ensure that families receive peer support, counselling, driving lessons for the children left behind, and an annual survivor weekend, where all those we have lost are remembered.

Please donate what you can to help us reach our target amount of £8,000 for this important cause.
