Making a will is a job many of us put off for years, but when Rob saw we’d partnered with Bequeathed to offer an entirely free will-making service, he jumped at the chance to support us into the future. For retired firefighter Nigel Brown, the fire service has become ingrained in his family history. Now he reveals why he is gifting part of his father’s estate to the Charity, as a thank you for the years of support they’ve received. When attending the will reading of his big brother after he had died unexpectedly, Mark Nicholson was surprised and proud to discover Paul had left £20,000 to The Fire Fighters Charity as a way of saying thank you for the support he had received during his 30 year career in Devon. For someone who was told he would never walk again, watching Bob Stovell walk through the woods with his daughter, Jo, is a pretty special sight. As the cover stars of our Spring issue of Shout! magazine, the pair tell us about the accident that changed their family's lives, and how the Charity supported them in the years that followed. Firefighter Antony Tolson explains why he's decided to include The Fire Fighters Charity in his will, after the support he received helped him speed up his recovery process quicker than he ever thought possible.
