Gearing up for a challenge

Wednesday, 27 February, 2013



On March 24th a PC from Avon and Somerset Constabulary and 3 friends from
Bristol will be setting off on a gruelling six-day ride from Lands End to John O'Groats.

The ride will raise money in support of Cancer research and is in memory of one of the participant's mother. Lee Francis' mum, Anne James was a Police Community Support Worker in Avon and Somerset and sadly passed away last year after a five year battle with cancer. The other riders are Jamie Evans a serving Police Officer with Avon and Somerset, Lee Rogers a Fireman and Richard Hathway, a laboratory worker for the NHS.

The team have set up a Facebook page www.facebook.com/Lands End 2 John O'Groats 6 Day Challenge for Cancer Research. They also have a sponsorship page www.justgiving.com/end2end6daychallenge. You can also sponsor them by texting the code LLRJ66 and the amount you would like to donate, e.g. £10, and send it to 70070. The team is grateful for any support they can get and would like to thank Police Life readers in anticipation.
