My story
On Sunday 1st July 12 of Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service's finest athletes will participate in a 1-mile open-water swim in Manchester's Salford Quays. Judi Beresford, Louise Brown, Lisa Billam, John Cooke, Katy Doohan, Ceri Gray, Kate McLaughlin, Gary Platts, Jo Platts, Louise Shelton, Matt Sisson and Amy Thorpe (perhaps you can decide who "finest" and "athlete" applies to!) have committed to swim the mile to raise funds for The Fire Fighters Charity.
The large majority of our team has had no experience of swimming in open water and swimming such a distance...
We need your support to help us through it!
Please dig around and donate what you can to support this worthwhile cause, a charity which supports the communities we work and live in, a charity which is naturally close to our hearts. Please be generous - the trauma involved in getting in and out of wetsuits is worth sponsorship in its own right!
If you are unable to donate, why not join us? There are still places available at the swim and if you are interested in joining our team, please contact Amy via email: BFund@derby-fire.gov.uk - Team Derbyshire is not exclusive, it is not watch or rank specific. Both support and operational staff have come together, our aim and drive is simple; to raise funds for The Fire Fighters Charity.
Thanks for taking the time to visit Team Derbyshire Fire's JustGiving page.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

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. To find out more, please visit www.firefighterscharity.org.uk.
