My story

As Rob and I are showing at AFAC 2011in Sydney in late August, we wondered what we could do to commemorate flying around the world for Hainsworth and clocking up a combined 42,000miles.

 

The Bridge Climb caught our eye as being truly memorable, a little scary and something we would never repeat. Since the purpose of our visit to Australia was to promote our range of Fire-fighters PPE, we thought it would be an ideal opportunity to raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity and give something back.

 

Oh and did I mention I am scared of heights....

 

I have gone into training, climbing every stair I can find and only looking straight forwards at the horizon, never down – I don’t know if it will work for vertigo, but it is making the drive to work more interesting… Gin seems to be working for the panic attacks... unfortunately it is having a detrimental effect on my balance...

 

 Please give generously, help us beat our target for a great cause and make the whole terrifying experience worthwhile!

 

Thanks!

 

Charlotte & Rob

The Fire Fighters Charity

The Fire Fighters Charity

Charity Registration No. 1093387

Every 30 seconds in the UK fire fighters are called to an incident, risking their lives to save others, but sadly they often sustain physical injuries whilst carrying out their duties. The Fire Fighters Charity is here for fire fighters during their times of need. The Charity offers vital support services across the UK for all fire fighters, assisting in excess of 17,500 individuals every year. Our modern, dynamic and award-winning charity has three UK centres, located in Cumbria, Devon and West Sussex, which provide therapy, rehabilitation and recuperation facilities. Our pioneering Beneficiary Support Services offers local and remote assistance to fire service personnel in need nationwide – providing solutions to real life problems. It costs over £9 million every year to keep the Charity running, and with no government funding, we are completely reliant upon donations and fundraising, so your support is very much needed.
