Staffordshire Fire & Rescue Service is celebrating 50 years of existence in it's modern form by setting the challenge of raising £50,000 for the Fire Fighters Charity.

The Fire Fighters Charity is there for every member of the UK’s fire service community, helping them all to live healthier and happier throughout their lives.

And it’s not just about firefighters. The Charity supports past and present fire and rescue service personnel, whatever their role, as well as spouses, families and many other eligible individuals across a diverse community of around 300,000 people.

The Charity offers a range of services to help the whole fire family look after their wellbeing – from expert support and advice over the phone, online or in-person, to support groups for retirees, a Wellbeing Hub full of online resources and much more.

So I am going to the World Firefighter Games to take part in an event entitled "The Toughest Firefighter Alive". The games are being held in Aalborg in Denmark from the 7th to the 14th September - my race will be on 12th. I'd like to use this competition to raise awareness of the work of the Charity, who would appreciate any support that you feel you are able to give.
