Fundraiser - The Big SYFR Swim

Story

Staff across South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue are teaming up for a mammoth swimming challenge in aid of two incredible causes.

We’re aiming to swim the equivalent of the perimeter of South Yorkshire- that’s 170 miles!

People will be contributing anything from 100m to several miles.
