COPS RUN TO REMEMBER

Cheshire`s cops are preparing to run 250 miles in memory of two female officers who were killed while on duty.

Police colleagues from Cheshire Constabulary will lace up their jogging shoes to take on the challenge starting from the Police Headquarters building at Winsford, on Sunday 1st December and then running every day for 125 days.
The Run To Remember campaign is to support the PC Nicola Hughes Memorial Fund. PC Hughes and her colleague PC Fiona Bone, were murdered in Manchester last year.

Their killer, Dale Cregan, 30, was already on the run for the murders of father and son David and Mark Short when he killed the officers in a gun and grenade attack. He was given a whole life sentence at Preston Crown Court.

Bryn Hughes, PC Hughes′s father, is planning to complete the North Pole Marathon in April next year.
To support his campaign, every police force in the country has been invited to enter a team and raise money in the Run to Remember event.
This starts on December 1 and each member of the team will run 250 miles over a 125-day period. The campaign ends on April 4, which coincides with Mr Hughes′s departure to the North Pole to start his marathon run.

Officer′s from Cheshire were united as one in stating that no one would ever have wished for these cowardly murders to have occurred in the first place. However, if any good is to come from this tragedy then raising money for charity is a positive start.

Bryn Hughes was asking for at least ten volunteers from each force and, in Cheshire alone there are currently more than 80 police officers and staff taking part. There is a mixture of running ability, fitness levels and ages and for many, it will be a challenge. However all will be spurred on by the memory of Nicola and will give it their best.

Each member of Cheshire Constabulary running in memory hopes to raise a minimum of
