This summer, 12 members of Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service will be taking on The Big Challenge!

Putting a Welsh spin on the well-known LEJOG challenge, the team will be cycling from Land’s End in Cornwall, the most South-Westerly point in Britain, to John O’Groats in Northern Scotland. Here are some of the team, along with our Chief Fire Officer, Roger Thomas.

The Big Challenge involves cycling almost 1,000 miles in 10 days, through three countries and climbing a staggering 54,000 feet.

This impressive physical challenge is all to raise as much money as possible for three charities close to the team members’ hearts:

• The Fire Fighters Charity (charity number 1093387)

• Cerebral Palsy Cymru (charity number 1010183)

• 2wish (charity number 1168140).

We are a national centre of excellence for families in Wales with children who have cerebral palsy. Our specialist team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists work together to offer transdisciplinary skills, so each child, benefits from their combined expertise. Our family support service offers a listening ear, advice and support. We share our knowledge and skills through collaborative working, courses, national and international conferences.

When a family loses a child or young adult the effects are devastating for all who knew and loved them. It is important that support is available if and when required.

It is important families know that they are not alone and that the feelings they are experiencing are often normal. It is important that there is communication between the family, hospital staff and members of the police force so families understand what is going to happen in the days and weeks following their loss.

2wish supports anyone affected by the sudden and unexpected death of a child or young person aged 25 and under.

The Fire Fighters Charity offers specialist, lifelong support for members of the UK fire services community, empowering individuals to achieve mental, physical and social wellbeing throughout their lives.
