Hello! We’re a team of eight firefighters from Hayling Island Fire Station, proudly taking on the Dragon Grand Fondo – a grueling 215km cycling challenge through the mountains of Wales – to raise vital funds for The Fire Fighters Charity.

This incredible charity has supported many of our crew over the years, offering mental health support, physical rehabilitation, and recovery services that have helped us return to duty and continue serving our community.

‍♂️ Why We're Riding

The Dragon Ride is one of the UK’s toughest cycling events, and we’re training hard to conquer it together. Our goal is to raise awareness and funds to ensure that firefighters across the country can continue to access the life-changing support they need.

How You Can Help

We’re reaching out to our amazing community – friends, family, local schools, and supporters – to help us make a difference. Every donation, big or small, goes directly to The Fire Fighters Charity and helps us reach our fundraising goal.

We’ll be hosting events like:

• A station open day

• A community car wash

• Training rides you can follow on social media

• And more ways to get involved!

Fundraising Goal: £1,500

Your support will help us reach our target and make a real impact for firefighters in need. Whether it’s £5 or £50, every contribution helps us get closer to the finish line – both on the bike and in our mission.

The Ride Takes Place in 2026

We’ll be sharing updates, photos, and stories as we train and prepare for the big day. Your support means the world to us – not just for our team, but for firefighters across the UK who rely on this incredible charity.

Thank you for standing with the Hayling Dragons!
