Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've recently signed up to take part in The Ladies Driving Challenge at Knockhill Race Circuit on Sunday 18 April, in aid of The Fire Fighters Charity.

My challenge is to see if I've got what it takes to drive a variety of weird and wonderful vehicles including a fire engine (of course), an HGV, a tracter, a digger, a crane and perhaps even a hovercraft and I'm hoping to raise as much money as possible for the charity.

I'm not going to deny it should be great fun, but more importantly it should help raise much needed funds for this great cause and I would be really really really grateful for your sponsorship or a donation of any size (as every penny counts).

Every year, thousands of fire fighters are injured whilst protecting the public. Every 30 seconds in the UK, fire fighters are called to an incident, putting their lives on the line, and often sustaining physical injuries whilst carrying out their duties. The Fire Fighters Charity is here for fire fighters during their times of need, and assists over 17,000 individuals every year, by providing pioneering treatment and support services.

It costs over £9 million every year to keep the Charity running, and with no government funding, they are completely reliant upon donations from the general public and fire community and on raising money through events like this.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you thank you thank you xxx
