UPDATE - after a couple of reschedules (3 Sept no go as fault found on plane & then 11 Nov no go as stormy weather) I have a rescheduled date in the Spring - fingers crossed for the 6 April - blue skies & gentle breeze would be great. In the meantime - thank you for all your supporter & fundraising for The Fire Fighters Charity.

For the wing walk, I will be strapped to the top wing of a vintage Boeing Stearman biplane, flying at 135mph. Whilst I am enthusiastic now, I am not going to back out if I am also raising money for a great cause - The Fire Fighters Charity.

Working in the People Services department for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, and also having a brother who was a fire fighter I am well aware of the trauma that can be faced by our fire fighters.

Our fire and rescue services are always there for us when we need them, helping us at the lowest and most terrifying moments of our lives. To do that, they need to be physically and mentally well, at work and at home. The Charity’s role is therefore to ensure that it’s there for them, for life, working as their health and wellbeing companion, supporting every aspect of their lives to ensure that they can be there for you when you need them.

The Charity offers a range of services to help the whole fire family look after their wellbeing – from expert support and advice over the phone, online or in-person, to support groups for retirees, a Wellbeing Hub full of online resources and much more.

However, it couldn’t provide any of this life-changing support without your help, so please donate what you can now to make a huge difference to the UK’s fire family. Visit www.firefighterscharity.org.uk to find out more
