Firefighters climbing for charity
Getting fit for the mountain challenge
Getting fit for the mountain challenge

A group of heroic Croydon firefighters is calling for help for a charity challenge.

The 17 brave men from Croydon fire station are planning an expedition to climb three of the UK's highest peaks in 24 hours.

The group, including Andrew Hanlon, 28, from Croydon, Liam Brown, 26, from Purley, and Bazza Unwin, 52, from Roundshaw, have been preparing for the endurance test for more than two months.

Their arduous journey is due to begin on June 21.

Once the clock starts, the teams will have just 24 hours to climb Scotland's Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike in the Lake District, and then finally Mount Snowdon in Wales.

They have had one mini-bus donated but need another and cash for fuel.

Welfare, a charity for child support and family services in Croydon and the Fire Services National Benevolent Fund will be the main recipients of their fundraising.

Call the firefighters at Croydon fire station on 020 7587 4561 if you can help.
