Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I want to raise money for the Fire Fighters charity, here for fire fighters during their times of need, and assisting over 13,500 individuals every year, by providing pioneering treatment and support services.

On October 21st, along with members of the Band of the West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service (www.thefireband.co.uk), I will be marching and playing 5km through London to raise money for the Firefighters charity  as part of the Tunnel 2 Towers run - http://www.tunnel2towersrun.org/.

The event itself is a 5km run, of which around 20,00 people are taking part, and is inspired by the FDNY Tunnel to Towers run, which is organised by the Steven Siller foundation based in New York, set up by the brother of an FDNY firefighter who lost his life in the 11th  September attacks on the World Trade Centre.

The UK event will start from King's Stairs Gardens, Bermondsey. It will pass through the Rotherhithe Tunnel and Wapping before finishing with a street party in the shadows of Canary Wharf Tower in London's Docklands.

The band will be marching and playing along the full 5km of the run route and will be timing the march to arrive at the finish line around the time of the main runners. The band will then perform during the street party afterwards. Most importantly the band will be marching to raise money for a number of charities .This is a huge ask for the band and will be very challenging, but it's an event we're really looking forward to!
