Acton Blue Watch on Charity Mission
Walking 120 miles in 48 hours
|
Firefighters from Acton are taking on a new challenge to raise money for a children's charity.
Luke Pomeroy and the rest of Acton Blue Watch of the London Fire Brigade will be walking 120 miles from Acton Fire Station to Sherborne Fire Station in Dorset in 48 hours for the children's charity 'Time Is Precious'.
Time Is Precious help provide valuable equipment to hospitals which is much needed as the budgets for hospitals can be limited.
After Lily Rose, Luke's seven month old daughter was admitted to Yeovil District Hospital in November 2014, Luke and the rest of Blue Watch wanted to help out and give something back to the hospital which provided Lily Rose with vital care when she was poorly.
They are hoping to raise £2,000 and are nearing their target.
