On April 23rd 2017 I like many others will be running the London Marathon. However unlike anybody else in the race; I will be raising money for The Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust (WBVT). http://www.wiltshirebobbyvan.org.uk/#/about-the-trust/4524908843
As a serving Detective Constable within Wiltshire Police and as an officer who used to work on a department that primarily investigated Dwelling House Burglaries I saw first-hand the work The Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust conduct. The comfort and security a visit from The Bobby Van immediately gave to elderly or vulnerable victim was evident and as an investigator it helped to know that your victim was able to start putting their lives back together after a traumatic experience.
If you know anybody that has ever been a victim of one of these incidents I’m sure you will know of the devastating effects this can have.
As part of my preparation I have also ran the Bath & Reading Half Marathons.
• I have kindly been sponsored by Securefast (http://www.securefast.co.uk/) a partner of the WBVT.
•I will shortly be holding a raffle with various exciting prizes including a Free Hotel Stay (kindly donated by Venues and Events International - www.venueseventsint.com), tickets to a local celebrities Garden Party and tickets to a Comedy Night in Devizes, with more prizes to be confirmed.
