The days may be getting colder but that certainly hasn’t stopped our supporters getting out and about with some very adventurous fundraisers this month.
One of those was on-call firefighter Kevin Giles, from Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service, who climbed to Everest Base Camp in aid of us.
Meanwhile, a team of firefighters from Exmouth completed an incredible challenge – hiking 33 miles across the Jurassic Coast. See their video here:
