REASON FOR GOING:

We take our good health for granted, we take our fire service for granted and we take help in difficult times for granted…that is until we need it and use it – then we realize that good health isn’t a given, that firemen and women put their lives at risks ever day and don’t always go home unscathed and that nurses supporting the sick and their families are angels who don’t have the time or resources available and that they can’t reach everyone that they want and need to. So if more people know about these charities and their work maybe they will donate a little cash, not take them for granted and give support where they can.
