Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Team Jim is running again! The amazing Team Jim have entered the New Forest Marathon event on September 10th 2017 running a mixture of 5k, 10k and Half Marathon. Please if you can, support their commitment, time and effort by donating to the Firefighters Charity and coming to cheer us all on. Those cheers really do boost us over the line and we'd love to see you there.

This years fund raising kicked off as always with the amazing generosity of the attendees to the Jim Shears Memorial Randori held in April at Jim's judo home ground, Wessex Judo Club. A great night enjoyed by all that took part as they remembered their friend and judo hero Jim. Huge thank you for all the donations that this year is being split half to the charity and half to improve/maintain the upkeep of the memorial flame at St George's Church.

As ever, my huge thanks and admiration to all Team Jim runners, donators and supporters. Your the best! To date, we have raised a whopping £18,500+. With the tragic and devastating Grenfell Tower fire this year it feels more important than ever to support our firefighters and the charity that helps those injured, ill or in need of psychological help and the  show our appreciation for all they do and see to keep us safe.  So thank you again for helping me to keep up this massive fund raising mission and the memory of Jim and Alan alive and running!!
