THE amazing exploits of top cop Andy Cox are set to continue in 2022 as he once again takes on a challenge in aid of the charity RoadPeace.
This year Detective Chief Superintendent Cox plans to either run or cycle for 30 miles for seven days in a row and has set himself the target of raising £500,000 for RoadPeace.
RoadPeace is the national charity for road crash victims in the UK.
It provides information and support services to people bereaved or seriously injured in road crashes and engage in evidence based policy and campaigning work to fight for justice for victims and reduce road danger.
It’s stated vision is: “A world where road danger is not tolerated and where road crash victims receive justice and compassion.”
This year Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership is asking the public to join them in supporting Det Chief Supt Cox by donating via its Just Giving page.
Warwickshire is aiming to raise £5,000 towards Andy’s massive target.
The profile event will see police officers and staff from across the UK join forces to run, cycle, walk or travel by any other means across their force area, between May 16-22, 2022.
However supporting the challenge does not necessarily mean a gruelling 30 mile run.
In Warwickshire, officers and staff from the partnership including Warwickshire Police, Warwickshire County Council Road Safety Education Team, Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire, and Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service will be supporting him by running or cycling a set distance of 10 or 20 miles on Wednesday, May 18.
To encourage as many people to take part as possible, those who can’t take part on 18 May can still pledge to cycle, walk or even swim or horse ride an equivalent distance on a day of their choice between May 16-22.
Chair of Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership Philip Seccombe said “I’m proud of all the participants who are stepping up to support the inspirational Andy Cox in this Challenge.
“As well as raising much needed funds for RoadPeace, the Challenge draws attention to the number of people who needlessly die on our roads every year.
