Thanks for taking the time to visit Andy Barratt's Official JustGiving page. 

This July 24th & 25th 2010 Andy will be riding the Mersey Roads Club RTTC National Championship.  He will be riding the Shropshire roads all afternoon from Saturday 1.00pm and through the night until Sunday 1.00pm a full 24 hours.  Andy is hoping to raise over £250 for the Fire Fighters Charity, he is also looking to pursue a Personal Best mileage of more than 332 miles. This won't be Andys first time in this event, he has been mad enough to enter and endure this event four times.

Andys comments, ' I am looking forward to riding the event and raising money for such a good cause.  I think that fire fighters throughout the U.K are doing a very dangerous but vitally important job for their community.  My ride is just a way to say thankyou and keep up the good work'.

 

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 all fire service personnel during their times of need, and assists thousands of individuals every year, by providing pioneering treatment and support services.

Our modern, dynamic and award-winning charity has three UK centres, located in Cumbria, Devon and West Sussex, which offer varying combinations of therapy and recuperation services. Our pioneering Beneficiary Support Services also offer local and remote assistance to people in need nationwide - providing solutions to real life problems.

It costs over £9 million every year to keep the Charity running, and with no government funding, we are completely reliant upon donations from the general public and fire community.

 

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. Thanks Andy Barratt
