🔥 Help Us Support The Fire Fighters Charity – 4 Firefighters, 24 Hours, One Big Challenge, 2nd May 2026 🔥

Dear Friends, Supporters, and Members of the Community,

This year, four firefighters from White watch at Kettering Station are taking on an epic endurance challenge to raise funds for a cause close to our hearts — The Fire Fighters Charity.

Rick, Dan, Charlie and Tamas will be competing in the Boughton Backyard Ultra, an intense event where we’ll run 6.7km every hour, on the hour, for 24 hours straight.

To take on this test of grit, determination, and teamwork, we’re running in pairs, alternating each hour — meaning each firefighter will complete 12 loops, clocking up 80.4km each over the 24-hour period.

We’re doing this to raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity, which provides vital mental health, physical rehabilitation, and wellbeing support to thousands of serving and retired fire and rescue personnel — and their families — across the UK.

🧡 Why We’re Asking for Your Help:

The Fire Fighters Charity relies on donations to keep providing life-changing support. Whether it's recovery after injury, help with mental health, or support during tough times — they are there for us when we need them most.

Now, we’re stepping up to be there for them. And we need you.

👉 Please sponsor us and donate whatever you can.

Every donation, no matter the size, will directly support firefighters, control room staff, and their families across the UK.
