The event, coordinated by Campsie Senior Constables Deirdre Barham and Alexis Cask, involved police, community members and Legatees cycling in one-hour shifts at the home of the Bulldogs, Belmore Sports Ground, from 10am last Sunday, to raise funds for NSW Police Legacy.
A team of riders at Broken Hill also took on the challenge and live-streamed the action at Belmore. One rider clocked up a combined riding time of 12 hours.
Campsie Commander, Superintendent Sheridan Waldau said the teamwork involved to coordinate the challenge was enormous and she was proud of the two officers.
“Events like this only happen because people care and want to support such a worthy organisation, Police Legacy, who are there to support the police and our families in our times of need,” she said.
Organisers also thanked the sponsors along with Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs greats Phil Gould and Terry Lamb and upcoming player Jacob Kiraz.
Established in 1987, NSW Police Legacy provides financial and social support to families of police officers who have died both on and off duty. There are 1,300 legatees ranging in age from two to 104-years-old.
