It wasn't fitness that stopped Welsh firefighter Lyndon Rees from completing a gruelling SAS hike through the Brecon Beacons in full fire kit and breathing apparatus. It was the fact that he stopped to rescue a dog walker who had fallen 500ft down the side of a mountain. Summer is here, and you've been super busy with fundraising activities. Here are some of the amazing things people have been getting up to in the name of The Fire Fighters Charity. As always, there aren't enough hours in the day to say a big enough thank you, but we are all incredibly grateful for your support. Hot Runnings, the team of London firefighters, finished seventh in the Red Bull Soapbox Race at Alexandra Palace on Sunday, raising nearly £1,000 for The Fighters Charity in the process. Four Croydon firefighters are taking part in the Red Bull Soapbox Race at Alexander Palace on Sunday 7 July to raise funds for the Charity. We hear why they chose to do so, as well as give you the chance to win two tickets to the event on Sunday 7 July. We are always so impressed with the huge efforts you all go to with fundraising for us. There aren't enough hours in the day to say a big enough thank you, but for now, let us make a start by sharing the amazing things people have been getting up to in the name of The Fire Fighters Charity. You are all wonderful.
