About our charity : The Fire Fighters Charity The Fire Fighters Charity
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 fire fighters during their times of need, and assists over 11,000 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 recuperations services. Our pioneering new Beneficiary Support Service also offers local and remote assistance to people in need nationwide. 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 fire general public and fire community.

Our personal message:

In January 2008, our good friend Alan Robertson was involved in a terrible road traffic collision whilst on duty as a fire fighter in Central Scotland.  He received multiple injuries and due to tremedous work by fellow colleagues, paramedics, Helimed crew and staff at Glasgow's Southern General Hospital he survived.  Further work at Glasgow Royal Infirmary has allowed him to return home and start the long process of recovery. 

Alan and his family are doing a variety of fundraising activities in order to thank the charities/services that have played such a crucial role in his recovery.  Alan's brother Graeme and a group of his close friends (some runners, some not runners!) are taking part in the Great Scottish Run and will run 70km between them raising funds for the Fire Fighters Charity (through this page) and also The MS Therapy Centre.

Alan has already spent 2 productive weeks at the Cumbria Rehabilitation Centre which is funded by the Fire Fighters Charity and he also been very grateful to the MS Centre in Edinburgh who have opened their door to him where he receives ongoing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

We will be wearing t-shirts on the day for the Blood transfusion service which played a major role in his survival from the accident.  He received 72 units of blood and blood products during his stay in hospital, a staggering 22 of those being in the first night.  A wonderful service and Alan would like to raise awareness regarding the importance of giving blood as it really does save lives!

Alan really is a true fighter and an inspiration to us all, his determination and positive attitude has been overwhelming and we fully support him with his goal of returning to work in 2009.

We would be most grateful if you could dig deep and sponsor us in order to support these wonderful charities/services who have given Alan life saving treatments and incredible support.
