Want to join me in supporting our heroes and making a difference? I’m raising money to benefit The Fire Fighters Charity, and any donation will help make an impact.

Founded during the dark days of the Blitz to support the bereaved families of brave firefighters, The Firefighters Charity was created to support those who laid down their lives to tackle the devastation seen across the Capital. However, that charity is as important today as it was then as our everyday heroes of the UK fire and rescue community face traumatic life and death situations. The Fire Fighters Charity is here to support them whether injured, ill or in need of psychological support.

My father was a Firefighter for 26 years and he sadly passed 2 years ago after many years of struggling with health issues related to a stroke, but throughout his journey of ill health, both he and my mother received tremendous support from the charity. It's time for me to give something back......

To support this charity, I will be running from The Fire Service College in Moreton-in-Marsh where my father started his career, to the site of the old Grindon Fire Station in Sunderland where he last served. The challenge will commence on Thursday 3rd September 2026 and end on Saturday 12th September and I will be covering a total of 246.1 miles over 10 days (an average of 24.6 miles per day). But it doesn't stop there. On Sunday 13th September, the day after I complete the challenge, I will be completing the Great North Run.

Thank you in advance for any donation that you can make.
