Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 15th August John Bolton, James Regan and I (Dave Slawinski) will be jumping out of a plane at 14,000ft on our own, and two of us have never even done a parachute jump before! (must be crazy!)

The money raised will go to The Fire Fighters Charity please read on to see how donations will help.

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.
