Poppy was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia last year. The youngster now wants to fundraise for us as a thank you to firefighters that went the extra mile to cheer her up. Elliot Kear, who was part of the Welsh squad in this year’s Rugby League World Cup, says he’s donated to us from the moment he joined the fire service. A retired Watch Manager from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service and his colleagues helped to organise an incredible event in aid of us. Of the 400 people who started the 18-mile trek along Hadrian's Wall last weekend, 100 of them dropped out before the halfway line. And only one of them was doing it in full fire kit, complete with breathing apparatus. Former North Yorkshire firefighter Adam Collins explains his reasons for wanting to push his body to the limit and raise money for two charities in the process. Retired West Yorkshire firefighter Stephen Wolstenholme has walked the 80 miles of The Dales Way this week to show his appreciation of the Charity that helped his wife’s cancer recovery.
