Fundraising for Surrey Search and Rescue
Story
On the 12th October I will be running/walking/crawling 80km from the top of the Lake District to the bottom taking in many notable peaks on the way as part of the 'Lakes in a Day' race.

As many of my friends know, I have recently joined Surrey Search and Rescue as a trainee (hopefully soon I'll be operational) and I am proud to have the opportunity to do a bit of fundraising for them. Please help me reach my fundraising target and remember no matter how big or small a donation, every little helps.
Surrey Search and Rescue is a member unit of the UK’s Lowland Rescue service. Alongside Mountain Rescue, Cave Rescue, the RNLI and Volunteer Coastguard, we form the backbone of specialist help for the emergency services when anyone is in need of finding or rescuing.
Lowland Rescue teams specialise in finding missing people using foot-teams and dog-teams, often over large areas of wilderness and without knowing where the casualty is to begin with.
Surrey is England’s most wooded county, and over 77% of the county is rural land.
Our volunteer team is trained in rapid searching techniques and navigation to cover this ground effectively, and first aid skills to help casualties when we do find them.
Surrey Search and Rescue is a registered charity, and receives no funding from government or the emergency services – we are wholly reliant on public donations and grants from industry. All of our members are volunteers, and none of them is paid for their time, fuel or expenses.
