Mid & West Wales Fire & Rescue

On 12 June at 11am, Station Manager Dave Latham, along with a small support team, will take on the epic challenge of climbing Snowdon, not once, but as many times as they can in 24 hours!

Other Service members will also be joining them for support throughout the event, completing their own individual challenges, whilst adhering to the current Covid-19 guidelines.

Station Manager Latham and the team will be undertaking this epic challenge in support of the Firefighters Charity, an organisation that offers specialist, lifelong support for members of the UK fire services community, which includes current and retired personnel and their families.

Station Manager Dave Latham said, “Following the difficult times that we have all been through, the Firefighters charity needs our support more than ever.  The pandemic has meant that charity events and fundraisers have been cancelled, which has seen a significant reduction in donations being made to charitywhich is one of the many reasons that has led to this fundraiser.

He continued, “this will be a huge challenge for everyone involved, but we are all very much looking forward to see how many times we can climb this mountain in the time given”.
