Fundraising for The Fire Fighters Charity
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit Team PerkinElmer's JustGiving page.
Team PerkinElmer are taking part in the National 3Peaks on 20th June 2010 in order to raise funds for The Fire Fighters Charity. This involves climbing 3 of the highest mountains in the UK (Ben Nevis (4409ft), Scafell Pike (3209ft) and Snowdon (3560ft)) in under 24 hours.
Every 30 seconds in the UK fire fighters are called to an incident, risking their lives to save others, but sadly they often sustain physical injuries whilst carrying out their duties.
The Fire Fighters Charity is here for fire fighters during their times of need. The Charity offers vital support services across the UK for all fire fighters, assisting in excess of 17,500 individuals every year.
Their modern, dynamic and award-winning charity has three UK centres, located in Cumbria, Devon and West Sussex, which provide therapy, rehabilitation and recuperation facilities. Our pioneering Beneficiary Support Services offers local and remote assistance to fire service personnel in need nationwide providing solutions to real life problems.
It costs over £9 million every year to keep the Charity running, and with no government funding, they are completely reliant upon donations and fundraising, so our support is very much needed. So please DIG DEEP and donate!!!
