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 20

Well here we are 113 miles and three police forces later in Hull. We have had a result tonight - the accommodation is complimentary and is courtesy of the Holiday Inn at Hull Marina, to whom we are very grateful.
We left Durham this morning with Tamarra and some friends from the RFU riding with us again and we received a great welcome at Cleveland in Middlesbrough where the Deputy Chief Constable Derek Bonnard rode with us on the leg to North Yorkshire. Having received another fantastic welcome there we pressed on to Hull and Humberside Police who have adopted CVOC as their charity for the year and again did us proud.
We are also receiving great support from the public and officers along the way being given £10 by a member of the public in a MacDonalds this morning and another by an officer in passing.
Tomorrow we go on to West Yorkshire in Wakefield, South Yorkshire in Sheffield and Lincoln and Lincolnshire Police.
