Hide AdFrazer Merry, who is 30 and from Mansfield, is one of the firefighters taking part in the fundraiser.


He explains: “We will leave Mansfield Fire Station at 9am on Friday November 26, walking up Rosemary Street and then down the A60 and working our way through Newstead past Newstead Abbey, then onto Hucknall and Bulwell, before reaching our final destination in the middle of Nottingham.
"The other half will be completing a workout based on normal firefighter training, which will last the length of time it will take us to complete the walk, which we expect to be around seven hours.
"It’ll be made harder by us all being in full kit and we're hoping to raise as much money as we can for the charity.”
