Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On March 20th 2011 I will be taking the Ladies Driving Challenge in Cornwall in aid of the The Fire Fighters Charity.
My Dad was a long serving fireman and so I know the risks they face and the great public service they provide.
Some of you may be aware of my "interesting" driving history and as a consequence I am not the worlds most confident driver...so planning to drive a JCB (instead of reversing into it) and a fire engine (amongst other large vehicles) will be a huge personal challenge. But to assure you that your safety will not be put at risk....we are driving on the airfield at RAF Portreath ;-)
Please dig deep and support me I would like to raise £200.
Many thanks

The Fire Fighters Charity
Every year, thousands of fire fighters are injured whilst protecting the public. Every 30 seconds in the UK, fire fighters are called to an incident, putting their lives on the line, and often sustaining physical injuries whilst carrying out their duties. The Fire Fighters Charity is here for all fire service personnel during their times of need, and assists thousands of individuals every year, by providing pioneering treatment and support services.
Our modern, dynamic and award-winning charity has three UK centres, located in Cumbria, Devon and West Sussex, which offer varying combinations of therapy and recuperation services. Our pioneering Beneficiary Support Services also offer local and remote assistance to people 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 from the general public and fire community.
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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
