You may or may not know that my little sister, Meg, was involved in a pretty serious car accident last September. When she eventually got out of hospital, she was lucky enough to spend some time in the Fire Fighters Charity's rehabilitation centre, Jubilee House in Cumbria. After spending 3 weeks in the centre, she is back to work, walking unaided and generally so much better. This care would not have been available to her without the Fire Fighters Charity. My dad, a fire fighter for over 20 years, has also spent time in Jubilee House for rehabilitation. The Charity have done a tremendous amount for my family.

 

So ..... I've decided to set myself a challenge and raise some money for them. At the end of July I'm going to complete the Three Peaks, but with a bit of a twist - I'm doing it all under my own steam by cycling between the mountains. It's going to take me a week to climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales and cycle nearly 500 miles, but it will be a week well spent if I can help  the Fire Fighters Charity do their amazing work.

 

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.

Any money you can give would be massively appreciated, and will give me the encouragement I need to help me to keep turning those wheels just a little bit longer.
