Story

Green Watch at St Austell Fire Station, alongside colleagues from across Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service, are taking on an epic coast path run, from East to West. The run will commence at Bude Fire Station and continue along the South West Coast path, with firefighters running through day and night, until they finish their over 200km journey at St Just Fire Station.

The route includes 30,000 ft of climb and will present a real challenge to our firefighters! Please support our team by helping raise funds for the Children's Cancer Unit in Truro.

Children's cancer is devastating and members of our watch have been personally impacted. Sadly, children across Cornwall are diagnosed with cancer every year, and the local cancer unit is essential so families can remain local to their support networks while receiving treatment. The Children's Cancer Unit in RCHT Truro provides clinical, practical, financial and emotional support to children and their families.

Help spur our firefighters along by donating - any donation makes a real difference, supporting young people fighting cancer in our county.
