Story
On Sunday 7th May, the team of new firefighter
apprentices will collectively cycle the 500 miles from Windsor Castle to
Balmoral Castle.
We will be doing this across two locations. Broad Street in
Reading and The Lexicon in Bracknell.
The reason for the challenge is
to raise funds for The FireFighters Charity who are the UK fire family’s
charity. They are there for every member of the extensive fire service
community. They exist to help all to live healthier and happier throughout
their lives and do that by providing a broad range of health and wellbeing
services, online and in person.
They are of upmost importance to all involved in
the life of firefighters from operational staff, office staff and families.
We will be cycling the 500 mile distance for two
reasons. The first, in memory of FF Barry Martin, the latest fatality to
happen to our firefighter family who worked in the Scottish Fire and Rescue
team and unfortuantly lost his life in the Jenners incident. The second
reason for the distance, is to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III, as
we go from his Windsor residence to his residence in Scotland.
As a team of apprentice firefighters, we would
appreciate your support on the day, with collection buckets avaliable. We
would be grateful for any kind of donation, no matter of size as it all goes to
a fantastic cause.
Many Thanks.
