Story

Hi everyone and welcome to my just giving page!!!

I’m currently a serving Firefighter for the London Fire Brigade and I’m based out of Park Royal station in West London.

I'm running the 2024 TCS London Marathon in support of The Fire Fighters Charity. 

In December 2022 I got injured playing netball and I wanted to get back to work as quickly as possible. 

I contacted the Firefighters charity and in March 2023 I went down to Little Hampton for a week to under go some rehabilitation courtesy of The Firefighters Charity. 

They provided me with a week physical programme, hydrotherapy and lectures about health and well-being. 

The week was fantastic and so I’m running the marathon so someone else may be able to benefit from this amazing charity!

Even now 4 months on they regularly check in to see how I am doing and if I need more help with a programme. They go above and beyond!

They provide specialist lifelong support for members of the UKs fire services community, empowering individuals to achieve mental, physical and social wellbeing throughout their lives.
