Elliot Kear, who was part of the Welsh squad in this year’s Rugby League World Cup, says he’s donated to us from the moment he joined the fire service. Sarah Goodall, who works in West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's Control Room, shares her experiences on International Control Room Week. Watch Commander Mark Hemingway has not only been supported by us himself, but has seen a close friend helped hugely too – all thanks to your regular donations. A retired Watch Manager from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service and his colleagues helped to organise an incredible event in aid of us. Of the 400 people who started the 18-mile trek along Hadrian's Wall last weekend, 100 of them dropped out before the halfway line. And only one of them was doing it in full fire kit, complete with breathing apparatus. Former North Yorkshire firefighter Adam Collins explains his reasons for wanting to push his body to the limit and raise money for two charities in the process.
