About Tour de Force

On 1st August 2009 Dominic Chambers, manager of the only national police children's charity Child Victims of Crime, Ronny Carey, Trustee and Matt Ferguson RFU tag rugby man began their epic journey to cycle to every police headquarters throughout England, Scotland & Wales. The support vehicle is driven by CVOC trustee Steve Johnson.

They are cycling to raise awareness of the charity and its valuable work with the added hope of raising significant funds through individual police forces holding fundraising events.

They are stopping off at each Force Headquarters en route for cheque presentations and press coverage.

If you would like further detailed information of the route and would like to join or sponsor them on a particular leg of the journey please contact info@cvoc.org.uk or phone 01785 227325.

The blog is being updated daily by CVOC trustee Trevor Koschalka.

End of Day 19

So there we are back in England - after a long day yesterday we had a relatively easy day today riding down from the Scottish borders to Northumbria Police HQ at Ponteland for a presentation then onto Durham where we received another great welcome and donation.
We were joined today on the 'tour' by Tamara Taylor, an England Ladies Rugby international, Jonathon Ricketts and Max Carter from the RFU and we are very grateful for their support and company.
Tomorrow is a big day when we will be cycling down the country from Durham and visiting Cleveland Police in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire Police in Northallerton and Humberside Police in Hull, which I am told is about 113 miles and hilly!
