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 22

Nearly there! A much better day today in terms that it was great weather for cycling and we did not have a puncture. We visited four forces Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire and received great welcomes from them all. Steve's wife Val and Dominic's wife turned out to support the team and we had Sam and Alex from the RFU riding with us and we were joined by Leicestershire officers on the leg to Northampton.
Tomorrow we will be visiting Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire and the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter.
