The sun’s been out and so have our incredible fundraisers over the last four weeks, pulling out all the stops to make it a huge success.
We’ve seen you climbing, walking, running, cycling, quizzing, washing cars and so much more to raise the funds we need to continue offering out life-changing support.
London firefighter Steve Moore ran 60 miles a day for 5 days – visiting all 102 LFB fire stations – to raise vital funds for us and Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care. See his video here:
And he’s far from alone – with more fantastic highlights throughout the month below.
Don’t forget, you can share your amazing fundraising achievements, encourage others and share ideas on My Fire Fighters Charity. We have a series of dedicated groups you can join. Just register now and head to the ‘Groups’ tab at the top of the My Fire Fighters Charity homepage.
