Route 57UK & Ireland’s answer to Route 66

Introducing 'Route 57' – a drive across England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland in support of seriously and terminally ill children, teens and adults


I am Officer Bella, a Dachshund born the 23rd January 2021 who was rehomed by Support Vehicle in February 2023.

I like nothing more than calling shotgun when traveling in my American Police Interceptor, however, I freely give up the front seat to other Officers and seriously and terminally ill children, teens and adults so they can enjoy the thrills of an American Police Interceptor experience with a difference.

There is an expression that ‘If you cannot get to me' then 'I shall get to you’ which is what this appeal is about as many of those we support suffer from one or more if not all of the following; pain, nausea, fatigue or breathlessness which affects what they can comfortably do.

Play the universal language of childhood

Play is the universal language of childhood and the time and opportunity to play is every child’s right. The role and value of play increases proportionately when a child is made more vulnerable through illness or disability.

When a child is diagnosed with an illness or condition likely to considerably shorten their lifespan, there are many challenges as well as new and frightening experiences that both the child and the child’s family will inevitably face.

Our ‘we get to you’ road trip is a ‘no brainer’ and, surprising those diagnosed with a serious or terminal illness with a paw patrol visit works in a way that no drug or medicine could ever hope to achive. 

Support Vehicle have a proven history when it comes to creating magical experiences for those facing dark and uncertain times, we will keep you updated through website posts which we trust that you will share with your friends and family as it is your donation that enables us to create magical memories that those facing difficult times can share with their family and friends.

Support Vehicle has zero paid employees, pays no rent, and serves without compensation. This operating efficiency puts Support Vehicle in the top echelon of non-profit organisations and we will continue to strive to be the single best run non-profit organisation in the country, we are fervently committed to being good stewards of the support we receive.

Support Vehicle understand the importance of social media when it comes to reaching out to as many people as possible and would appreciate if all readers would also share this page on their media sites and with friends and family so as to help Support Vehicle put together an American Police Interceptor Road Trip with a difference.

Support Vehicle would like to hear from those who know of someone who would benefit from an American Police Interceptor paw patrol visit and if you are a celebrity reading this or know of a celebrity who would like to ‘Don the badge & uniform’ and pay a surprise visit to a fan we will donate our vehicle to the celebrity at no cost, all we ask is that the celebrity insures the vehicle fully comp.

Thank you for supporting this good cause.
