It’s been another busy (and fortunately, sunny) month for our fundraisers and there have been some fantastic highlights from right across the UK.
We’ve seen runs, walks, cycle rides, climbs, Car Washes, Open Days and more, as well as some truly touching tributes from friends and families, as part of in-memory challenges.
Well done and thank you to all of you who have organised or taken part in a challenge or event this month, we couldn’t continue to offer our care and support to our wonderful fire family without you.
Don’t forget, you can share your amazing fundraising achievements, encourage others and share ideas on My Fire Fighters Charity. We have a series of dedicated groups you can join. Just register now and head to the ‘Groups’ tab at the top of the My Fire Fighters Charity homepage.

Dozens of swimmers are set to join a marathon swim this Fri/Sat in aid of @FireFighters999.
They’re continuing the fundraising legacy of WMFS Crew Commander Iain Hughes, who tragically died as he attempted a Channel swim.
