The FOLLOW THAT FIRE ENGINE CHARITY is a charity setup specifically for the expedition. 100% of all money raised will be split equally between the three nominated charities; Macmillan Cancer Support, The Fire Fighters Charity and Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation.
Money raised will make a vital contribution towards:
• helping people living with cancer
• helping injured fire fighters and other members of the fire community
• helping thousands of people affected by lung cancer every year
• striving to defeat lung cancer through ground-breaking research
